Holiday bootcamps as a school offering
School buildings often sit empty during the holidays. A STEM bootcamp puts them to good use and gives learners a focused, exciting experience.
What a bootcamp looks like
A few focused days in the December, April or August holidays. Learners choose a track:
- robotics and coding;
- lab science;
- design and making;
- systems and industry.
They build something real and present it on the final day.
Benefits for the school
- learners return to school more motivated;
- parents see the school's commitment to STEM;
- teachers gain new skills;
- the school builds a reputation for innovation.
Partnering with VR Labs Africa
VR Labs Africa can run bootcamps with your school, providing the programme, mentors and access to the virtual labs. Learners can also visit the IoT Lab in Nairobi.
Practical planning
- Agree dates early in the term.
- Confirm a venue with computers and internet.
- Agree fees, meals and supervision with parents.
- Plan the final showcase.
Opening to the community
Bootcamps can include learners from neighbouring schools, strengthening local partnerships.
