What will your kid do at Zen Code Camp?
Coding & App Creation
Kids turn ideas into reality as they build their own apps and games using real code. Through hands-on projects, they gain problem-solving skills, explore AI, and grow in confidence as creators.
3D Printing
Campers dive into the world of 3D printing as they design, customize, and bring home projects like keychains, custom characters, or fun gadgets they invent themselves.
