STEM and coding camps in Frisco (2027)

STEM is short for science, technology, engineering and math. In Frisco, STEM camps fall into four main types. Knowing which type your child enjoys narrows the list fast.

The four kinds of STEM camp

• Coding camps: kids build games and projects on screen, often around Minecraft or Roblox. Best for kids who already love games and want to make their own.
• Robotics and LEGO camps: kids build machines, then use simple block coding to make them move. A great first STEM camp, because the results are hands-on.
• Science camps: a different theme each week, such as chemistry, engineering or medical mysteries. Good for curious kids who like experiments more than screens.
• Nature and outdoor science: animal encounters, hikes and field science. A nice break from screens in the middle of summer.

Coding camps

Code Ninjas Frisco runs six themed camps at its West Frisco location: Minecraft and Roblox STEM adventures, STEM Explorers and Robotics Engineering for ages 6 and up, and YouTube Production Studio and Cybersecurity & AI Explorers for ages 8 and up. Camps run 9am to 3pm, by the week or single days, from $299 a week, with early arrival from 8am and pickup until 4pm for a fee.

Robotics and LEGO camps

• Code Ninjas Frisco Robotics Engineering Camp: robotics and engineering for ages 6 to 14 at the West Frisco location, 9am to 3pm, by the week or single days. Early arrival from 8am and pickup until 4pm for a fee. From $299 a week.
• brickLAB Frisco: half-day LEGO camps for ages 7 to 12, mixing robotics, stop-motion movies and free building. Weeks have no theme, so kids can return. From $279.95 a week.
• GearMinds LEGO Robotics Beginner Camp: a morning camp for rising 2nd to 4th graders using LEGO Spike Prime, covering gears, simple machines and sensor coding. $289 for the week.

Science camps

• Sci-Tech Discovery Center: Frisco’s hands-on science center runs a new theme each week for ages 6 to 12, grouped by grade. Most weeks are full day (9am–4pm, $400; $350 for members), with a few half-day weeks for $225.
• MindBender Academy: a four-day STEAM camp for students entering 6th to 8th grade, June 7–10, 2027, with morning or afternoon sessions at Frisco ISD’s career and technical center.
• Little Elm ISD X-STrEAM Camps: low-cost half-day STEAM camps for students entering K–12, $100 a week, open to families outside the district.

Nature science

Heard Museum Summer Nature Camps in McKinney mix science themes with live animals and time outdoors, for ages 5 to 16, 9:30am–2:30pm, with extended care until 5:30pm. $250 a week. Preschoolers can try Camp Roly Poly.

How to choose

1. Start with the format. Half-day camps are a low-risk way to test a new interest. If you need a full workday, look at Sci-Tech or Code Ninjas with extended care.
2. Match the age band, not just the minimum age. A 6-year-old in a camp for ages 6 to 14 may be the youngest by far. Camps grouped by grade, like Sci-Tech, keep kids with their peers.
3. Check the weekly theme. If your child is set on robotics, book robotics weeks specifically. Themes vary week to week at many camps.
4. Plan for lunch. If you pair a morning and an afternoon camp, check who supervises lunch in between.
