ACADEMY / SUMMER PROGRAMME

A few weeks. A serious amount of building.

A project-led summer intensive across robotics, AI, web development, cybersecurity and 3D design, with the emphasis on making rather than watching. Our first Lagos summer programme was scheduled for August 2024, and the format has shaped our cohorts since.

THE SHAPE OF THE PROGRAMME

Four weeks, one shared arc.

Learners pick a track and everyone presents on the last day.

WEEK 1

Safety, tools and fundamentals

Workshop rules, electronics basics, programming basics and a first working circuit.

WEEK 2

Sensing and motion

Sensors, motors and the first robot that responds to its surroundings.

WEEK 3

Choose a track

Robotics, AI and vision, web and software, cybersecurity or 3D design and printing.

WEEK 4

Integrate, test, present

Combine the pieces, test them, fix them and demonstrate to families and guests.

CHOOSE A TRACK

Tracks.

Learners may combine two where time allows.

04

Cybersecurity

Learn defensive practice in a controlled lab.

05

3D design and printing
