About this Event

(Bilingual camp taught in a combination of Dutch and English.)

Theme: Books & Films Come to Life (with Robots)

During this NewTechKids bootcamp of 4 weekly workshops held at the Amsterdam Public Library, kids ages 8-12 will invent robots based on popular kids books and movies.

Kids will dive into building and visual programming using LEGO Mindstorms and art supplies. They'll learn about design concepts (resources, requirements, testing, iteration, best practices) and computer science concepts (coding, algorithms, commands, loops, sequence, iteration, if-else logic, etc.).

During each class, they’ll discuss inspiring examples of technology before completing challenges in pairs and presenting their prototypes.

Classes will take place on Monday afternoons from 16:15 - 17:45 on the following dates:

- May 16, 23 and 30

-June 13

This bilingual camp will be taught by a native Dutch-speaking professional teacher with specialised training in computer science. The curriculum and workshops are based on NewTechKids’ pedagogy which focuses on concept-context learning and the use of tangible learning tools.

Our camp is ideal for children with no previous exposure to design and computer science and those who have previously participated in NewTechKids programs.

A minimum of 14 students is required to offer this camp. Registrants will be notified 3 days prior if the camp is cancelled and a full refund will be provided.

Location: Openbare Bibliotheek Amsterdam, Oosterdokskade 143 in the Junior Lab basement (5-minute walk from Centraal Station)

COVID Precautions

Our programs are limited to a maximum of 16 children in OBA Junior Lab which is large and well-ventilated.

- NewTechKids has used AI-based software to design floor plans for the room which determine the spacing of tables and chairs, the location of teacher, etc. Tables and chairs are placed apart to encourage social distancing amongst the children.
