Registration for RobotSchool’s Holiday Camps for Young Innovators Opens
School holidays are fast approaching, and while kids often look forward to a break from routine, parents often face the age-old dilemma: how to keep young minds active and engaged. Once again, Robotschool is offering a brilliant solution right here in Windhoek. Their popular holiday camps are back, inviting children to build, code, test, and bring their own tech creations to life.
Enrollment is open for young builders, dreamers, makers, and aspiring engineers looking to make the most of their school break. Rather than losing momentum between terms, children who join the camp dive headfirst into interactive, project-based learning. Holiday tech camps give kids a constructive outlet for their boundless energy, replacing idle hours with purposeful problem-solving and collaboration.
Learning how to code and build robots does far more than teach programming languages. It actively shapes young minds by instilling resilience, logic, reasoning, and creative confidence. When a child spends a morning trying to figure out why their robot isn't moving or why a line of code is throwing up an error, they aren't just doing homework in disguise. The kids learn to embrace trial and error. They discover that failure isn't a setback; it is simply step one in figuring out how something works. The hands-on challenges that Robotschool gives them build critical thinking, patience, and spatial awareness. It equips the children with the future-ready tools they need to navigate tomorrow's world.
"We live in a world driven by technology, yet children are sadly, mostly passive consumers of it. They swipe screens and play games built by others," says Bjorn Wiedow, founder of Robotschool Namibia. "At our holiday camps, we flip that dynamic entirely. We want kids to understand how things work under the hood, to understand the mechanics of it. They get their hands dirty by building machines, and realize they have the power to create, invent, and shape technology rather than merely consume it."
Located in Suiderhof, Robotschool Namibia continues to champion practical, mentor-led education that bridges the gap between imagination and engineering. Spaces for the upcoming holiday camps are limited to ensure every child receives personal attention and guidance. Parents eager to spark a lifelong love for science, technology, and creative problem-solving are encouraged to secure a spot early. It also gives the parents a couple of hours of peace and quiet while their kids are learning.
