Celebrating childrens’ talents in STEM since 2003

As technology increasingly influences our lives, computer science and its related fields are now more important than ever - yet many children still don't have enough opportunities to learn how it all works. Our mission for over 20 years at PlanetBravo has been to bring students fun, engaging STEM-based instruction that boosts their confidence and gives them the skills they need to succeed in our modern world.

Our Programs

Whether it's in our award-winning summer camps, computer lab curriculum, or after-school clubs, our students are consistently learning how to do innovative things. Our creative approach to education has our students coding their own video games, engineering custom robots, filming original movies, creating digital artwork, constructing simple machines, and lots more.


Techno-tainment Summer Camp

What started in 2003 as a little camp in Beverly Hills is now LA's largest and most popular summer tech program for kids. With 9 locations in Southern California and 2 in the SF Bay Area, we're doing our best to help kids all around California as they learn to code and design their own digital productions!

Junior STEM Camp

Long overdue, PlanetBravo's Junior STEM camp welcomes our youngest campers to their own STEM camp experience alongside our Tech camp. This camp is located at the same schools as our tech camp, but with their own Director and camp staff.

Lab Curriculum for Schools

Our innovative lab curriculum teaches students (and their teachers!) how to effectively use technology to enhance their classroom experience. We have a full complement of lessons for Pre-K to 8th grade that integrate advanced computer skills with standards-based classroom content, so students have relevant and practical ways to apply their newfound knowledge.

But for PlanetBravo, not only does she not care about going without a buddy, she is incredibly excited to get started. I also really appreciate that you make a concerted effort to include physical activity in the day in ways that are so fun for the kids."

It is like he has a second family of friends -- he has wonderful friends from school, and equally wonderful friends at camp. It really struck me this year how much they all have in common and what a super brainy and motivated group of kids they are! And, that they have been growing up together and becoming fast friends, even though they only see each other during the summer. I know these are friendships that will last a lifetime! I am so impressed with the way they are keeping in touch, and that they have already made plans to take courses together next year. I think the personal growth aspect of Planet Bravo is one of the greatest gifts your camp provides -- the counselors, friendships, and courses will benefit my son his entire life!!"

It was interesting to note that my son is not at all interested in anything to do with a ball, but if placed with kids who have the same interests he will happily join a game. I thought it was great that everyone got an award for their work. And my son and I both loved the nicknames given to the kids and instructors."

  • "If our schools educated with the same creativity, enthusiasm and ingenuity as PlanetBravo does, they would never have to worry about a child missing a single day of school or even running late for school! My son can't get enough PB...he wishes camp was seven days a week, and that the days were longer. He already knows what he wants to take next summer..."

I know that with her training she received and how now she can navigate through the computer, will help her feel very confident with her technical abilities at her age. I will continue to support her since this is how we are going to communicate now and in the future. I love it!"

The courtesy and caring along with the very fun and friendly personalities made an already great program so much better. [The Director] had everyone and everything so well organized while still managing to speak personally with parents each day. The counselors did not speak down to the campers and [my daughter] really felt like they were one big group of people learning and having fun."

    • Los Angeles
  • "I think the program was not only very professional but sensitive to the children's experience. It was very 'kid centric' but in a positive sense. Children were challenged yet considered in the planning. From the rock music on day one to the juice and cookies on the last day...I really respect the planning and execution of this camp. It rocks!"

    • Redondo Beach
  • "I originally signed my son up for 2 weeks -- he was so excited about Camp Bravo (and he's not very excited about much) I went ahead and signed him up for 2 more weeks. He was very sad when it was all over, and I know he can't wait until next year."

    • Ilene K.
    • Los Angeles
  • "We were amazed at the quality of work Techno-tainment summer camp taught our 8-year-old daughter. She and three other 8-year-old campers created a story line, wrote, edited, and starred in their very own movie! It would rival any college short film. The talent in the team of counselors is phenomenal. This camp exceeded all of our expectations and as parents gave us great pride in the abilities it brought out in our child."

    • Marla
    • Beverly Hills
  • "This is by far my son's favorite camp of all time. We have spent thousands on other camps only to have him complain constantly and sometimes drop out. This camp was all he wanted and more. His goal is to keep going until he's old enough to be a counselor in training."
