Toy Making & Coding Camp

Welcome to a unique camp where kids don’t follow templates – they design, build, and program their own toys entirely from scratch! This hands-on adventure invites children aged 5–12 to explore creativity, coding, and engineering, combining technology with craft, imagination, and problem-solving.

What kids will experience:

Foundations of Coding – Using friendly, age-appropriate programming tools and playful challenges, campers learn key coding concepts such as sequences, loops, and logic while making their toy creations interactive and dynamic.

Design & Build Your Toys from Scratch – Children plan, design, and construct their toys from scratch, using wood, 3D-printed parts, and craft materials. Along the way, they explore engineering principles and learn how mechanical and electronic systems work.

Integrate Sensors, Motors & Technology – Bring toys to life with simple electronics, motors, and sensors. Campers experiment with creative applications such as:

  • Motorized moving parts or spinning elements
  • Light or sound sensors that trigger toy reactions
  • Interactive displays or motion-activated features
  • Basic robotics concepts to make toys respond to touch or movement

By combining scratch-built creations with digital interactivity, campers gain hands-on experience in coding, engineering, and problem-solving in a fun, engaging way.

Outdoor Exploration & Creative Play – The camp also includes playful activities that combine movement, imagination, and problem-solving:

  • Designing obstacle courses or toy challenges
  • Brainstorming improvements to toy functionality
  • Collaborative play to test and iterate designs

Teamwork & Problem Solving – Kids work in small groups, strengthening communication, cooperation, and creative problem-solving as they tackle design and coding challenges together.

Showcase & Celebration – At the end of the week, campers present their scratch-built, interactive toys — from prototypes to fully functional demonstrations — to their parents, celebrating what they’ve imagined, built, and programmed.

Why this camp is special:

  • Kids build and code toys entirely from scratch, no templates involved
  • Combines coding fundamentals with hands-on toy engineering and crafts
  • Encourages creativity, critical thinking, and interactive play
  • Blends indoor projects, tech challenges, and playful outdoor activities
  • Delivered in both German and English, so kids can learn and experiment comfortably in either language
  • Perfect for kids of all experience levels, from beginners to young inventors

Practical info & what to bring:
Bring morning snack (Znüni), lunch, afternoon snack (Zvieri), drinks, and outdoor-ready clothing.

We speak German and English.
