If you live in or near Liberty Hill and you are trying to plan a summer that is fun, safe, and actually worth your child's time, a hands-on STEM camp is one of the best options on the table. Here is a straightforward parent guide to what Tinker Sparks offers in Liberty Hill for Summer 2026, who it is for, and how to get a spot before the popular weeks fill.
What Tinker Sparks is
Tinker Sparks is a hands-on STEM camp for children ages 6 to 13. Every week, campers build real robots, write real code, explore the basics of artificial intelligence, sharpen their thinking with strategy games, and take on science and engineering challenges. The focus is on doing, not watching. Children leave each day having built, programmed, tested, and improved something with their own hands.
Where the Liberty Hill camp is held
The camp runs at Montessori Kids Universe Liberty Hill, a licensed, purpose-built facility at 9025 West State Highway 29, Liberty Hill, Texas 78642. The site has secure access and ample free parking, which makes morning drop-off and afternoon pickup simple for working parents. Because the venue sits right on Highway 29, it is an easy drive for families in Liberty Hill as well as nearby Cedar Park, Leander, and Georgetown.
The two age tracks
Children are grouped by age and readiness so that every camper works at the right level:
- Junior Builders, ages 6 to 10. Younger campers build and program using LEGO SPIKE Essential, learning the foundations of robotics and block-based coding through guided, playful projects.
- Explorer Coders, ages 10 to 13. Older campers move up to LEGO SPIKE Prime and text-based coding, and begin exploring how artificial intelligence and machine learning actually work.
What a week looks like
Each week follows a rotating theme, so a child can attend several weeks in a row without repeating the same material. Across a typical week, campers rotate through robotics builds, coding sessions, an introduction to AI concepts, and strategy games such as chess, along with Minecraft and Roblox themed challenges. Groups are capped at 12 students, so every child gets real attention and real time on every project.
Dates and pricing for Summer 2026
The Liberty Hill camp runs across eight weeks during the summer, Monday through Thursday, from 10AM to 3PM. Full-day enrollment is 425 dollars per week. Multi-week families save more the longer they book: 5 percent off two weeks, 10 percent off three weeks, and 15 percent off four or more weeks. Families enrolling a second child in the same season receive a 10 percent sibling discount. Lunch and extended before and after care are available as add-ons for parents who need a longer day.
The first week of the season is already sold out, and the strongest themes tend to fill early. If a specific week matters for your family calendar, it is worth reserving sooner rather than later.
Who designed the curriculum
The Tinker Sparks curriculum was built by a team whose founders studied at Kellogg at Northwestern, the University of Texas at Austin, and the Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad, and the company is veteran owned. The goal is simple: give children genuine technical skills in a format that feels like play.
