Whizzkids summer camps has been operating since 2003 and over the last 20 years has garnered a great reputation for providing fun and educational camps.
Focused on developing tech skills in 8-15 year olds, they run camps in TUS Athlone, Galway University and eight other university campuses across Ireland in July and August.
Classes are organised by age and all material is age appropriate. It doesn’t matter if you have prior experience or are just starting out, they have projects to suit all levels. From the basics of scratch programming to HTML/CSS and Python they will develop valuable coding skills, but it’s not all code, there’s animation, game development, 3D modelling, web design and microbits so students can build up a strong foundation in digital skills. Throw in sports and puzzles and you have a fun and varied day.
All equipment is provided in the high quality university facilities. The programme is delivered by experienced educators that are bang up to date with what’s hot in the tech world. Feedback from parents and kids alike is hugely positive and they rank a very impressive 4.8 stars in Google rankings.
Camps run Monday-Friday from 9.30am-1pm or 3pm. Half day camps cost €130/120, full day camps cost €180/165 for the week. So if you want to have fun and develop valuable skills at the same time visit www.whizzkids.ie for further information but don’t delay. Places are limited and this camp fills every year. Don’t say we didn’t warn you!
