We will be organizing five summer camps for primary school children in the summer of 2025. The camps are day camps from 9 am to 3 pm. For the youngest schoolchildren (those finishing grades 1–3), there are a total of three Magnificent Materials summer camps, of which the camp in the second week of June is in English. For older children (those finishing grades 4–6), we will be organizing two Robotics camps. See the dates, more detailed descriptions of the camps, and registration instructions below.
