Computers & Coding

The Institute of Education Coding Camp is a wonderful opportunity to improve practical skills during our immersive computer and coding camp. Designed to inspire children of all abilities that have an interest in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics).

The camp will help our “coders” learn the skills required to collaborate, work in a team and share knowledge and skills. Through different tasks, students will develop key critical thinking skills and learn how to problem solve in any situation, all while socialising and having fun with their peers.

Children of all abilities are welcome, and they will learn about the different facets of computers and coding. Our team “leaders” will support the “coders” in a fun, relaxed and friendly environment, ensuring they get the most out of the camp, igniting a love for all things coding along the way!

 

Cookery Skills

The Institute of Education Cooking Camp is a wonderful opportunity to inspire the little “head chef” in your family. This course will inspire the “chefs” to learn the fundamentals of nutrition, cooking and taste. This five-day cooking course is perfect for those interested in the art of cooking and the science of nutrition.

The students will be led by a dedicated team of experienced leaders, who will share their love of cooking and teach the practical skills required to become the family Head Chef!
This is very much a hands on experience. The students will learn by doing; whether chopping, prepping, grilling, frying or baking and will be able to present their culinary creations at the end.

The camp will be based in our teaching kitchen, with all ingredients provided.
We are happy to accommodate any dietary requirements if you can let us know when booking.
