Summer @ SA: FIRST Robotics Camp

Dates: June 15-26, 2026

Time: 9:00 am to 3:00 pm

Ages: Current 5th - 8th graders

Cost: $1,000

This two-week camp introduces students to FIRST Robotics, which participates in FRC(FIRST Robotics Competition). Instead of building an entire robot, students will explore the foundations that make robots function, including real mechanisms, sensors, wiring, and programming logic. Through hands-on activities, demonstrations, and interactive challenges, students will learn how engineers design, test, and improve robotics systems as a team. The camp focuses on problem-solving, creativity, and collaboration, giving students a fun and realistic introduction to robotics and engineering at a high-school level! 

Teacher: Andres Figueroa Hernandez ‘26

Andres will graduate from Sonoma Academy this June, and throughout his time at SA, he has been a critically important member of the award-winning Robotics team, Ellipse 6814. Andres also brings his technical skills to the theater program, where he has been behind the scenes for nearly every show produced during his four years of high school.
