What to expect
At Zen Code Camp, kids don’t just have fun—they unlock their creativity, gain confidence, and develop skills that prepare them for the future.
Coding and App Creation
Kids turn ideas into reality as they design apps and build games using real code! Through hands-on coding projects, they gain problem-solving skills, unleash creativity, explore AI, and develop confidence to create something extraordinary.
3D Printing
Campers dive into the world of 3D printing, turning digital designs into tangible creations they can see, hold, and take home. From keychains to custom projects, every child discovers the magic of innovation and the thrill of bringing their ideas to life.
