Summer Camp for Kids
CoLab Kids' Summer Camp is a 4-week, fun and interactive programme designed to introduce kids between the ages of 7 and 17 to the wonderful world of Computer Science and Programming.
Our approach involves the use of physical objects that bring computing concepts to life, making the lessons both meaningful and memorable to kids. During the camp, kids will be introduced to various technology concepts and work on projects in animation and game development, Robotics and Internet of Things (IoT), 3-D Printing, Virtual Reality and an introduction to Web Design and Development using HTML and CSS.
We also hope to, in the process teach the kids soft skills such as communication, project management, collaboration and presentation skills.
The camp costs N20,000.
