The Super Mario Brothers are back at it again!

Young Drobots engineers will join Mario, Luigi, Toadstool, and Yoshi to build new levels during each camp day. Campers will use LEGO® and K’NEX motors to create moving obstacles for our (pesky) characters to avoid. Create and take tunnels to secret levels that only YOU know about and then challenge your friends to try to beat your Bowser maze. The classic Super Mario Brothers game is brought to life in a STEM setting with LEGO® pieces, K’NEX, and of course… creativity!

Is there anything more fun than building structures out of LEGO® and K’NEX, only to watch them collapse before your eyes? Have you ever wanted to build a tower and then use a robot to destroy it? Campers will build incredible castles and then test how much weight they can hold before crumbling down. Using LEGO® and K’NEX, campers will work together in small teams to build bridges, roads, swings, and even snow mobiles!
