The document provides information about various summer camps focused on coding, robotics, and STEAM activities for students of different grade levels. Camps are offered by IT-OLOGY, Sylvan Learning, EdVenture, and the South Carolina State Museum. IT-OLOGY camps teach coding and robotics using mBots and Arduino for elementary students. Sylvan Learning offers camps in robotics, game design, coding, and more using programs like Scratch and LEGO WeDo. EdVenture has robotics camps for ages 6-12, and the State Museum has many coding and robotics options. Lexington 1 also offers a Camp Invention. Additional resources for at-home learning include websites like Code
