IT-Holiday-Camp
Game consoles, mobile phones, calculators – wherever we look, computers dominate our everyday lives. They not only help us solve complicated tasks, but also make our lives easier. But how do computers actually work? How are they built and how are they programmed?
In our IT holiday camp, we get to the bottom of these questions. Together, we will experiment with microcontrollers and build electrical circuits. Using simple programming languages, we will show you how to teach a computer new commands and how you can even use them to control a robot!
You don’t need any prior knowledge of electrical engineering or programming to take part in this holiday camp.
If you’re curious, come and visit our holiday camp – we guarantee a great atmosphere, lots of exciting knowledge and meals!

Weekly programme
Monday
Discover IT: Science rally with programming
To kick off our holiday camp, we will embark on an exciting discovery tour through the EXPERIMINTA Science Centre! Here, over 120 experiment stations invite us to explore and research. During this exciting rally, we will have to answer tricky questions. Only then will we be able to crack the code for the treasure chest. During this fun adventure tour, we will get to know our museum from a whole new perspective.
Afterwards, we will playfully explore the programming language Scratch and find out what language computers speak and how they can understand us.
Tuesday
Tech lab: Creative projects with Scratch and Arduino
The next day, we delve deeper into IT and program our first small programmes. After learning the basics of software with Scratch, we now move on to hardware. There, we will control various sensors with the ‘ARDUINO’ microcontroller and learn how to wire them.
In our technology lab, we can try out (almost) everything and design it ourselves. Here, we can programme everything according to our wishes – from traffic lights and clocks to smart homes!
Wednesday
Let's Code it! - Programming made easy
Half-time at the IT holiday camp! With the knowledge we’ve gained over the first few days, we want to get the most out of ARDUINO. Now it’s time to put all the pieces of the puzzle together and finish our programme. To do this, we collect various signals using sensors, have them processed by our self-written programme and obtain our first outputs.
Whether you prefer to invent your own game, control a robot or create cool animations – with Scratch, there are no limits to your imagination!
Thursday
mBot Explorer – Discover the world of robots
On the fourth day of our holiday camp, a real highlight awaits you! We will see the cool mBot robots in action and learn how to control and programme them. These little robots are real all-rounders. They are equipped with various sensors that help them perceive their surroundings. This enables the robots to drive on their own, avoid obstacles, follow lines or react to light. At the end of the day, we might even organise a robot race!
Friday
Mission Code-plete: The final Tech Day!
At the end of the holiday camp, you will have the opportunity to revisit your favourite topic in depth. We will review everything we have learned during the week and can continue working on our projects or implement completely new ideas. Now we have the opportunity to do even more programming, wiring and research!
Note on the programme: The planned programme will be flexibly adapted to the interests and wishes of the children during the holiday camp, so there may be deviations from the schedule presented here.
Registration
Note on registration: Please indicate any allergies or intolerances when registering so that we can take them into account when selecting lunch options.
