Camps

Our two camps, RoboCamps and FalconCamps, are guaranteed to be a fit for students of all ages 8+, regardless of prior knowledge or experience. Both camps will actively engage campers in STEM related activites in an interactive and friendly environment. Lessons will be taught by experienced members of our team who have gone through counselor training and know the content comprehensively (mentors, subteam leads, and veteran members). RoboCamps is geared towards younger students and provides a hands-on experience through physical robot building and programming. FalconCamps offers exciting workshops in robot-centric programming and 3D design to older middle and high school students.

Team 4099 is a robotics team based in Poolesville, MD, with our members pulled primarily from Poolesville High School. Every season, our team designs, builds, wires, and programs a robot from scratch to compete in the FIRST Robotics Competition. Our robots consist of upwards of 300 custom-designed and machined parts, as well as over 10,000 lines of code written over the course of a 2-month period. Through our hard work year-to-year, our team is proud to announce that we reached World Championships in 2022, winning our division and competing in Finals amongst the top 2700+ teams. Team 4099 is teaching the same content through our camps that members master over the course of our seasons -- let our successful competition robots speak for themselves.
