A new robotics summer camp will soon launch in Sarnia to help fund upcoming competitions involving local students.

Week one of Camp RoboLeague STEM summer camp will begin on July 8.

The five-day programs will be held at Saint-François-Xavier, 901 The Rapids Parkway, from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m.

There are six different camps available, spanning through to mid-August.

Depending on the week, the cost ranges upwards of $225 per child.

“All of the proceeds from the camps are going to go toward supporting our competitive robotics team for the 2024-2025 season,” said Mastermind Youth Foundation Co-Founder Sachin Parmar. “We encourage anyone who’s interested to sign up regardless of their current skill level because it’s very much about learning and getting the feel of an actual competition. If that’s something they like, then they would have the opportunity to join one of our community robotics teams.”

Parmar and Jacques Villeneuve recently created Mastermind Youth Foundation and launched a competitive robotics team last year. The “Francobots” included students from École Secondaire Catholique Saint-François-Xavier and École Scondaire Franco-Jeunesse.
