↘ What to look for
Push past the marketing copy on what the camp actually does. A one-week "robotics camp" might mean kids assemble pre-cut kits, OR it might mean they design from scratch using parts from a real makerspace — those are different products at the same price point. Ask for the daily schedule, sample project photos, and whether the instructors are practitioners or college kids.
