At Tech Camp we run engineering and coding camps for ages 9-17 where children get to take home all the equipment they have built including 3D printers, robots, embedded computers and RC cars. We're unique world-wide in the style of camps we run. Going home with the technology means that campers keep experimenting and learning long after the camp is finished. We've been running high-tech camps since 2008 and are the respected leader in our field.Our camps and courses change regularly and are based on the latest technologies and skills, including:• Artificial Intelligence (AI)• Programming in Python, C, C#• Game programming in Unity - the leading professional game engine world-wide• 3D printing and design using Fusion 360• Robotics and Mechatronics• Embedded computers and electronicsDuring the school holidays we run the most advanced engineering courses for children held anywhere. It's not easy and involves many tens of thousands of individual electronic components but we believe passionately in what we do, and gives children the opportunities that are now sorely lacking in many schools. Our camps are perfect for students who are really interested in technology, and those wanting to learn more and gain valuable skills in engineering, design, programming and creativity.Do you believe that STEM skills are important for young people? Are you looking for an opportunity for your children to gain important skills in a fun and engaging way? If so, have a look at our range of holiday Tech Camps.We seasonally employ top undergraduates in fields such as engineering and computer science to tutor our courses and also have a team of managers to run the events; typically people with strong backgrounds in education and teaching.

DirectorTech Camp Jun 2008 - PresentI’m an engineer, educator, and founder of Tech Camp, the only specialised hands-on engineering camp for young people where all the projects they create are taken home at the end of the camp.I studied Electronic Engineering at the University of Queensland in Australia and then worked in the fields of embedded electronics and software. I also studied education, and after working in schools in Australia, moved to the UK in 2001, taking up a post as Head of Science at Elstree School. In 2008 I founded Tech Camp, and then in 2010 this grew into a full-time business.I’ve also written articles for trade journals, developed workshops for the Science Museum, Maker Faires and the Abu Dhabi Science Festival and have appeared on BBC and Sky News discussing technology and computing education. I’m passionate about engineering, inventing and encouraging practical hands-on technology for young people.As well as continuing to design some of the unique high-tech projects for Tech Camp, I also still do some custom electronic design for clients. Most recently I designed an in-air laser tag system for a Channel 4 programme recreating the Battle of Britain with remote-controlled planes, complete with pyrotechnic smoke effects, and utilising a head-tracking FPV video piloting system. This was made into a three-part series which can be seen here: https://www.channel4.com/programmes/battle-of-britain-model-squadron..
