What Parents and Students Are Saying
“My 7-year-old daughter thoroughly enjoyed the STEM summer camp with AbdurRahman Syed. She was introduced to robotics, experienced 3D printing for the first time, and loved learning through hands-on projects. The instructor connected exceptionally well with the students and made the class truly engaging and enjoyable. We highly recommend this program!”
- Batool A. (Parent)
“We had a wonderful experience working with Brain Busters. During the 3D Printing workshop, our Girl Scouts (ages 8 -9) designed and printed their own keychains. The girls were fully engaged and excited to learn, and they loved showcasing their creativity. The instructors were patient, supportive, and guided them throughout the entire process.”
— Sidra H. (Girl Scouts Troop Leader)
“They made robotics easy to understand by breaking down complex ideas in a fun and engaging way. The hands-on projects helped me truly apply what I learned, and the instructors created a supportive environment where everyone felt encouraged to learn.”
— Yusra (Middle School Student)

Give your child a summer of building, creativity, and hands-on learning.
Race Ready: Your Own Car
Campers will dive into mechanical engineering as they design and build their own custom car. Students will explore gear ratios using simple and compound gear trains and chain & sprocket systems. They will develop an understanding of speed, torque and trade-offs in design. Through hands-on building and testing, they will learn critical thinking and problem solving. The camp will culminate with a final race.
Toy Designers: 3D Printing
Become a real-world creator, not just a consumer. Students will learn essential engineering skills like measurement (metric and imperial), spatial reasoning, and volume, and then apply them using professional 3D modeling software. By the end of the week, they’ll bring their digital design to life with a 3D printer and take pride in holding something they engineered themselves. Design it. Build it. Print it.
Turn curiosity into real engineering skills. Students will discover how everyday tools, from levers and pulleys to inclined planes and wheel & axle systems, make work easier and multiply force. Through exciting build challenges, campers will design and construct compound machines while learning how mechanical advantage actually works. They won’t just understand how machines work, but they’ll know how to build them, too.
Master Builders: Simple Machines
VEX Battle of the Bots
Students will use their creativity to build unique robots and compete in an exciting team-based challenge against other campers. With special game rules and multiple ways to score points, this competition requires design thinking, collaboration, and a solution-focused mindset. Campers will work together to strategize and improve their builds throughout the week. Students are sure to have a blast!
