After the bootcamp: from projects to tournaments

VR Labs Africa · 10 November 2026 · 2 min read

A bootcamp is a starting point, not an end. Here is how students can keep going.

Join or start a STEM club

Weekly clubs keep students building. If your school does not have one, ask a teacher to start one. VR Labs Africa supports schools with club guides.

Practise at home

With a Virtual Laboratories account, students can keep exploring labs, from robot design to chemistry, at home.

Compete

VR Labs runs international robot-design tournaments on the platform, and new competition formats, including logic and mechanics competitions, are coming. Club teams can prepare and compete.

Return to the IoT Lab

Students who loved building with real devices can return for further sessions at the IoT Lab in Nairobi, with their school or in later bootcamps.

Share what you built

Encourage students to present their project at school assembly, to their class or online.

Next bootcamp

Many students return for another track, building a wider range of skills.

Sign up free, start a club or apply for the next bootcamp.

Try the Virtual Laboratories. Create a free account on vr-labs.ru, book a school demo, or visit our IoT Lab at Ramco Courts, South C, Nairobi.
