Coding Camps

Below are the courses that involve more programming (also called 'coding'). Although most of our courses involve some coding, the following ones generally have a more significant focus on coding. For a full list of courses see the 'Courses' menu above.

3D Game Design

Do you want to learn how to make games or want to take your game design skills to the next level? Learn how to design and code high-quality 3D games with Unity, the game engine used by professional game developers all over the world and that powers over half of the world's games...

After your gaming camp is finished, take your completed video game home as well as the Unity software to continue your adventures!

This is a great choice for a young person who is obsessed with games. Teach them about designing their own games instead of just playing them!

AI Vibe Coding

Read More

Ever wished you could create your own app — something that makes life easier, smarter, or just more fun? Welcome to AI Vibe Coding, where your imagination does the coding.

In this one-week camp, you’ll explore how artificial intelligence is transforming the way we build software. You’ll use powerful AI tools to design and create your own web apps — maybe a homework helper that explains tough questions, an image generator that brings your ideas to life, or a fitness tracker that motivates your friends.

This is the future of coding — where you describe what you want, and the AI helps make it real. No complex syntax or endless tutorials — just creativity, ideas, and instant results. It’s fun, it’s fast, and it’s how a new generation of creators are turning their imagination into real apps.

By the end of the week, you’ll have built your own working AI-powered app, and learned how to use today’s most exciting technology to bring your ideas to life.

Car Engineering

Read More

You'll construct a miniature RC car & customised control system using an F1-style computerised steering wheel .  Together with an FPV camera and headset, you'll have the ultimate racing experience.

This is no simulator. You'll feel like you're in the cockpit of a real race car – albeit a miniature one - so you'll have to hone your driving skills to avoid crashing your vehicle.

This is also no toy. With a computerised transmitter (a motion-controlled steering wheel) and a computerised receiver, you can customise every aspect of the driving experience from menus to steering, speed, and custom moves.

Physical Gaming

Read More

If you love gaming but want to get off the sofa and bring the action into the real world, this is the ultimate hands-on experience. At our Physical Gaming Camp, you’ll design and build your very own next-generation outdoor gaming system — a fully working laser-tag style setup with GPS, sound, and screen-based game-play.

You’ll start by assembling and soldering your own physical gaming devices — each featuring a high-resolution colour display, sound system, and GPS location tracking. Once built, you’ll program them in Python to create sound effects, design interfaces, and develop exciting, location-based games that blend the digital and physical worlds.

From classic laser tag battles to GPS treasure hunts and even virtual creature-catching games, you’ll invent new ways to play — and take home a complete four-player system to continue developing and gaming with friends.

Tech Creator

Read More

Do you like technology and creating things?  What if you could create advanced electronic devices by just connecting components and dragging and dropping?  You'll be given two sophisticated WiFi 'embedded computers' and a set of over 25 advanced modules. These include motors, a servo, an OLED screen, atmospheric sensors, security keypads and fobs, a laser rangefinder, ultrasonic sensor, and even a satellite navigation module - all yours to take home with you.

Want to create an RC robot?  How about an electronic box that could only be opened when taken to a specific location on the planet?  Perhaps a remote plant monitoring system, or a RFID card security system? You'll learn how to build all of those and best of all you'll have the knowledge and equipment to keep creating when you get home.

Your computer modules can be programmed using a simple drag-and-drop environment so this course is suitable for both beginners and advanced Tech Creators! It can also be programmed in Python when you take it home as the system automatically converts the block coding into Python.

VR Designer

Read More

Explore the latest in gaming technology in this deep dive into virtual reality.  Along the way you'll learn how a 3D painting app and an industrial training simulator are created and you'll even design your own VR escape room.

You'll learn how to create objects that can be picked up, thrown and hit, how to create a UI and audio that follows objects round the scene, lighting effects and shadows, and even how to make wearable hats.

You'll need one version of the Quest VR headset. See below for some more specific information.
