The OECS Robomindset Summer Camp is an immersive, hands-on educational experience designed to introduce young minds to the exciting world of robotics, coding, and STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) education. This camp brings together students from across the Eastern Caribbean to engage in a series of dynamic workshops and challenges that promote creativity, problem-solving, and teamwork.
The camp provides participants with the opportunity to build, program, and test their own robots while learning key STEAM concepts in a fun and interactive environment. Through guided activities, students will develop technical skills and gain valuable insights into robotics and technology, setting the stage for a future in these high-demand fields.
The Robomindset Summer Camp aims to foster a love for STEAM education and encourage the next generation of innovators, thinkers, and creators in the Caribbean.
