Tech Camp

Real Engineering for Kids. Welcome to the world's #1 specialised engineering camp for ages 9-17. Have a kid who likes creating?

Come and build a 3D printer, design an invention, create a robot, build a VR world and much more. Tech Camp’s mission is to ‘inspire tomorrow’s inventors’,which it achieves through its engineering, coding, IT and technology-related holiday camps. Building robots and rockets, learning coding skills,designing computer games, getting stuck in to 3D design, electronics and model-making are just some o

f the activities like-minded students enjoy at a Tech Camp course. All projects involve innovative take-home projects, so the learning and fun can continue at home. Established in 2008, Tech Camp is the UK's original and longest-running provider of such camps, which students can attend in either Winchester (residential) or London (non-residential). Students from across the UK – and from further afield - attend the camps and learn from tutors with bright,young minds and a passion for the techie world. Tutors are carefully selected based on their specific technology-related skills, their love of the tech-industry and their genuine ability to inspire tomorrow’s inventors. In fact, some of the tutors are ex-Tech Camp students themselves, who are now studying tech and engineering at the likes of Cambridge and Imperial. Small tutor groups are maintained –with a maximum of 1:8 staff to student ratio - to provide the best possible experience. Tech Camp’s innovative course material has been developed over seven years and is continually refreshed to appeal to both beginners and serious ‘Tech-Heads’. Tech Camp was founded by Tom Ward, an Electrical Engineer who previously worked as Head of Science at Elstree School, Berkshire. Tom is a self-confessed ‘techno-nerd’ and proudly admits he was a bit of a boff from school days. He was a national winner of both the "Beyond 2000" science competition and the DDIAE computing competition whilst at school in Australia. More recently, he has been a winner of the “Circuit Cellar”Electronic Design Competition in the US, has written articles for trade journals and is the technical publisher O'Reilly ("Best of Instructables"). He was short-listed for a ‘best e-learning Initiative’award by the Times Educational Supplement for a science learning game he developed. Tom often presents workshops for The Science Museum, Maker Faire events in the US, and at the Cheltenham and Abu Dhabi Science Festivals. Tech Camp promotes diversity at its camps – and is keen to inspire all students with a love of techie things. On a broader level, it supports and encourages students to study the broader STEM skills, because of the importance these will have in future careers and for the UK economy as a whole.

No idea it could speak French ... Found a hidden benefit of rewriting the Tech Camp Learning platform with an AI chat. Turns out it can answer the kids in their native language, whether that's French, Turkish, Hebrew, or Chinese.

Had a fun morning run a high-tech AI 'branding' workshop/cookery workshop at our Berkshire HQ with a group of students from France and in conjunction with thecookerylab.com. It's amazing watching the latest AI model turn a kid's sketch into a professional-looking brand. The kids loved it (and the food as well). Perhaps Sarah and I should run this as a birthday party option in the UK for kids who like tech and food ...
