In the sunny, surfs-up state of California, where palm trees sway lazily, and tacos are a major food group, a bunch of brainy kids are stirring up some serious robotic magic. Dwarfed by the towering redwoods and the colossal Golden Gate Bridge, these little tech-whizzes are creating a world of their own, one robot at a time. Meet our cool imaginary character, the legendary Silicon Sam. Sam sports neon glasses, has hair that sticks up like it's been shocked by too much static electricity, and rides around on rocket-powered rollerblades! Sam is an expert at building robots. From cybernetic kitties that purr like a real cat to snack-fetching robots that zoom across the room, Sam can make robots that can do just about anything! However, Sam is not alone in this robotic adventure. All over California, from breezy San Francisco to sizzling Los Angeles, these tech-savvy kids are teaming up to teach their robots new tricks. Some robots are learning to dance to the latest pops, some are weaving in and out of complex mazes, and some even bravely battling each other in epic Robo-Wars! These California kids aren't just building robots; they're building futures. They're learning teamwork, problem-solving, and persistence, all while having a ton of fun. And let's not forget, they're also learning how to rule the world, one robot at a time...but shhh, we didn't tell you that! So, next time you're in California, keep an eye out for a goggle-eyed robot or a kid like Silicon Sam, wearing neon glasses and zipping around on rocket-powered rollerblades. After all, in the land of cool, California kids are taking cool to a whole new level!

At Galileo Innovation Camp, we understand the importance of nurturing our campers’ innovative potential. That’s why we’ve developed the Galileo Innovation Approach, or “GIA”, an exclusive three-part framework. We believe that all innovators need the right mindset, knowledge, and process to bring their best ideas to life. At camp, the GIA helps our campers develop a mindset that promotes innovative thinking, giving them the tools to ask the right questions and come up with creative solutions. We also provide our campers with the substantive knowledge they need to guide their breakthrough ideas and bring them to fruition. Finally, the GIA serves as a process that provides our campers with the support they need to make their innovations a reality. At Galileo Innovation Camp, we use the GIA as a lens to help our campers reach their full potential. Through this approach, we’re able to ensure that our campers have the support they need to unlock their innovative potential and bring their best ideas to life.
