About
The Future Innovators Academy offers activities in robotics, coding, chemistry, and hands-on making. The program also runs maker camps, FTC bootcamps, and events such as Kids Night Out with pizza and projects, weekend hack-sprints, and maker parties. Participants have access to 3D printers, AI toolkits, and pro-grade robotics gear, and can join winter courses, summer camps in 2026, weekly courses from Scratch basics to AI on Raspberry Pi, an Innovators Pathway, no-school-day camps, and workshops that pop up throughout the year.
• Schedule: Kids Night Out lands on the first and third Saturday every month.
