More About Our Camp

Discover RoboNova: Advanced Robotics for Youth
RoboNova is YRES’s premier advanced robotics pathway, engineered specifically for students aged 9–14. Through a blend of guided instruction and hands-on practice, participants dive deep into the fundamentals of robot design, coding, testing, strategy, and teamwork.

The Weekly Experience: From Basics to Brilliance
Every Saturday session introduces and builds upon core skills progressively—meaning absolutely no prior experience is required to join. While we start from the ground up, the program actively challenges students to think critically, solve complex problems, and collaborate in an exciting, competition-inspired environment that builds genuine confidence.

The Grand Finale & Season Commitment
The season culminates in a high-energy Presentation & Celebration Day, where students showcase their creations to parents and put their skills to the test in a fun, structured tournament. Because RoboNova is a progressive, team-based experience, students are expected to commit to the full season. Please note that late registration is not permitted once the season has launched to ensure a cohesive team dynamic.
