Now, parents in the UAE can choose from unique alternatives that can immerse children into the world of science, technology, and space exploration.

These unique camps — which are aligned with careers of the future — prioritise building children's knowledge on coding, 3D-printing, emerging technologies, robotics, green living, and getting acquainted with space habitat.

For kids who love robots, math, plus some coding

Pure Minds Academy's camp provides a comprehensive selection of educational programmes founded on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). These include formal UK-accredited courses tailored to children aged 4 to 16 years old.

There is a Junior STEM and Robotics programme for 7 to 9-year-olds, where they learn key science, coding, and robotics.

Then a more advanced is designed to learn cybersecurity and coding for those who are between 10 and 14 years old. They will learn how passwords can be hacked and the tactics to to protect them from online harm.
