Kids Hacker Camp is week-long camp hosted at +iHub which is
Nairobi’s Innovation Hub for the technology community. The camp is aimed at
kids and teens aged 7 to 18 years, who are drawn to and interested in crafting,
hacking, discovering and tinkering. The camp is envisioned and designed to
provide an engaging platform on which children and teens can interactively
learn, explore and build; spurring them to understand the world around them,
analogue and digital. This exposure and tutelage will then go on to help them
build skills in design/creativity, critical thinking, collaboration and
self-confidence.
This edition of the Kids Hacker Camp focuses on System Thinking through Physical Computing.
We believe that an understanding of how different agents within the environment
interact will go a long way in helping the students learn about the world
around them {Science}. The physical computing plugs in to provide them with an
avenue to understand how one can purposefully interact with this environment
for desired outputs, i.e. using hardware to sense, compute and actuate.
