Vacation becomes a coding adventure
An intensive week of coding, robotics or AI. 100% online, wherever you are.
A unique format
Between the slow weekly class and the isolated screen at home, our camps create real immersion, with other kids and a dedicated teacher.
Full immersion
Four half-days through the week let your child truly dive in. A project started early becomes a real game by the end of the week.
EPFL · ETHZ bootcamp
A curriculum designed by graduates from Switzerland's Federal Institutes of Technology. Caring pedagogy, technical rigour, lots of patience.
100% online
No travel. Your child joins from home, with video, screen sharing and real-time assistance.
Small groups
5 children max per group. Each gets individual attention, each question gets a real answer.
Real deliverables
On Friday, each child takes home a finished project, game, animation, virtual robot or AI model, to share.
Not just code
We alternate coding, logic challenges, creative breaks and offline activities. Your child won't be glued to a screen.

A different theme each holiday. Stack several through the year for a complete path.
Build your first video game
Discover Scratch and build an arcade game from scratch: character, enemies, scores, sounds, win screen.
Python with Turtle: code and draw
First real programming language, with drawings! Turtle graphics for spirals, fractals and geometric animations.
Python: developer's apprentice
Command-line mini-games, automated calculations, first real project. The gateway to professional development.
Advanced Python: algorithms & olympiads
For students who already know Python: algorithms, data structures and contest problems, as part of a preparation for the informatics olympiads that carries on all year.
A certificate at the end of the camp
Every participant leaves with their own game and an official signed certificate.

Your questions about camps
Everything you need to know before booking.
Camps last one week, with 4 half-days (morning OR afternoon, your choice; or either works for you and we place your child in the best-suited group). Each half-day is 3 hours.
Four themes available depending on periods: 'Build your first video game' (Scratch), Python Turtle (intro to code), Pure Python (programming), and Advanced Python (algorithms and preparation for the informatics olympiads, from age 12, taught by the founder). Olympiad preparation is a long-term effort: it can continue in year-round classes, Solo or Duo.
Camps are open from age 7. Groups are formed by close age ranges to ensure proper dynamics.
Click “Book my spot”, choose the week and the time slot (morning, afternoon, or “either works for us” if you are flexible), then pay online by card, directly in the form. Your spot is reserved as soon as you pay; within 24 working hours we confirm the schedule, and you receive the connection link before the first day.
After the autumn break, during the Christmas holidays: Monday 28 to Thursday 31 December 2026 and Monday 4 to Thursday 7 January 2027, in the morning (9am-12pm) or afternoon (2-5pm). For the February 2027 break (Vaud: Feb 6-14, Geneva: Feb 15-19), write to us to be told when enrolment opens.
CHF 449 per week (4 half-days). 11% discount for a 2nd child in the same family.
Free cancellation up to 14 days before the camp. Beyond that, fees may apply (see T&Cs). For major issues, we always find a solution.
