* An Android tablet or phone

WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO AT THIS CAMP?

In this camp, you’ll get hands-on with the basics of Arduino and learn how to code in the C programming language. Challenge yourself with Arduino tasks designed to teach you the essentials of robotics. We don’t just cover theory; we dive into practical, real-world applications. You’ll gain hands-on experience working with sensors, modules, motors, and various circuit components.

From simple to complex Arduino projects, you’ll discover how to use sensors, modules, motors, and other circuit elements. Unleash your creativity and turn your Arduino knowledge into new projects.

We strongly believe that the best way to learn is by doing.

LOCATION

Experience the scenic beauty of the British countryside with the captivating Mendip Hills as the backdrop. Our host school is Sidcot School, a traditional boarding school with a large, beautiful campus. The school is 45 minutes from Bristol city centre and takes under two hours to reach London. Sidcot is an ideal location to enjoy the safe and tranquil countryside and experience the adventure of campfires, archery and bush crafts. It is a stone’s throw from Cheddar Gorge, a national heritage site where the famous cheese is produced.

Bristol is a vibrant city that is fashionable and free-spirited, so it is no surprise that Banksy started here with a spray paint can. Bristol’s famous Clifton Suspension Bridge is a testament to the innovative engineering of Isambard Kingdom Brunel and has shaped the city’s landscape and historical importance. It is also home to the renowned Cabot Circus, a great place to shop, so there is an opportunity to enjoy city life and the amazing countryside.
