Innovate Tech Camps Australia recently concluded the first week of our Tech Summer School in Melbourne. We were very excited to welcome kids from New South Wales, Canberra and different parts of Victoria for Tech Summer School.
It was a great week of exploration and innovation among kids. Modules such as Electronics, Vex IQ robotics and basic engineering courses were very popular. Students and parents were particularly fascinated by Robot Virtual Worlds (RVW) where Tech Summer School students achieved many missions and the gratification from it all was instantaneous!
All in all, it was a great week, seeing so many children come into Tech Summer School for a season of learning. We look forward to welcoming our Teen Innovators and our final batch of Young Inventors in the coming week.
The best news is that Autumn Maker Camps are available for booking! Woo hoo!
