Summer Tech Camp Adventure: Build Robots, Create Games, Have Fun!

Welcome to our Summer Tech Camp, where young enthusiasts aged 5 to 16 can immerse themselves in the exciting realms of robotics and video game development. Our Tech Camp with robotics and video games offers a unique blend of technology, creativity, and fun. As a result, participants not only learn but also enjoy every moment. Furthermore, the camp is located in the Ciudad Universitaria area, in the Moncloa district of Madrid.

Robotics Workshops

At our Summer Tech Camp, participants will join hands-on robotics workshops. During these sessions, they will assemble and program robots using kits such as LEGO Mindstorms (an educational robotics system), micro:bit (a small programmable computer), and others designed to teach robotics and programming. These workshops not only help develop problem-solving skills but also spark curiosity. As a result, attendees will gain a deeper understanding of the mechanics behind each creation. Furthermore, they will learn the programming required to build the robots.

Video Game Development

In addition to robotics, our Tech Camp with robotics and video games also offers sessions on video game creation using free, open-source software. Through these sessions, participants will have the opportunity to design and develop their own games. This not only enhances creativity and logical thinking but also allows them to explore the fundamentals of game design.

Our Summer Tech Camp with robotics and video games is hosted at Colegio Mayor Loyola, located in Ciudad Universitaria (Moncloa), Madrid. The venue offers state-of-the-art facilities to ensure a comfortable and conducive learning environment. Each day begins with activities like chess, group sports, or indoor games. After that, participants engage in the robotics workshop and enjoy swimming sessions. Additionally, they have the option to take part in other creative activities, providing a balanced mix of education, recreation, and fun.

Tailored Learning Experiences

We recognize that each participant is unique, with different skill levels and interests. Therefore, our Tech Camp adapts to various ages and expertise levels. We group participants accordingly to ensure a personalized experience. For older students, up to 4th year ESO, we offer advanced activities. These include programming with Godot, Python, and Gdevelop. Additionally, we provide drone flying and artificial intelligence projects. In this way, our Tech Camp with robotics and video games caters to a wide range of interests and skill levels.

Extracurricular Opportunities

Beyond the summer, we extend our passion for technology through extracurricular activities. Specifically, we focus on robotics and video game programming. Our programs are tailored for students aged 5 to 16, with varying levels of difficulty that match their progression. In these activities, students undertake projects involving design, programming, and assembly, using tools like Scratch, LEGO, micro:bit, and Arduino. As a result, these activities not only integrate mechanical, electronic, and programming components but also provide a comprehensive and enriching learning experience.

Join us at our Tech Camp to inspire a passion for technology and creativity, equipping young learners with valuable skills for the future.
