From software to coding, this program (for 10 to 14 year olds) not only shows students how passwords can be hacked but how to implement real tactics to help them to protect themselves from online harm.
This program runs in multiple age groups with differing levels of difficulty highlighting the importance of this topic. How can science and technology work together to protect the earth? Our students will find out!
As students living in Dubai, children have a lot to be thankful for and much of this stems from the hard work of those around them. Embedded in our programs for younger children we teach mindfulness practices and gratitude to drive greater balance.
The best selling toy EVER is so hard to master that only 5% of those who've owned one can complete it! We'll attempt to increase this figure during our camps this summer as we teach our 7 year olds and older how to master the Rubik's cube!
Pure Minds Academy's AI Bootcamp is an intensive AI programme exclusively for ages 10–17.
Across three weeks, students work with the latest industry-standard AI tools and platforms used by professionals.
Train real machine learning models, build autonomous AI agents, write Python, AI APIs, and deploy a working web application.
Real Tools, Real Projects, Real Outcomes.
Explore how AI sees, learns and decides. Students work hands-on with Teachable Machine, ChatGPT, Canva AI and Nous AI, training their own image classification model and leaving with a working understanding of how AI actually functions.
Build real automation workflows that think and act independently. Using Zapier, Make.com, n8n and Python, students progress from simple triggers to branching logic finishing the week by solving a real business scenario with an agent they designed themselves.
Build and deploy a live web application using Lovable. Students learn HTML, JSON, APIs and webhooks along the way, then train a neural network on Edge Impulse and deploy it onto a Micro:bit. By Friday, every student has two real projects they built themselves.
This year Pure Minds Academy brings our hands-on STEM Summer Camp and advanced AI Bootcamp programmes for ages 4 to 17, combining AI, Robotics, Coding, Engineering, Cybersecurity, Financial Literacy, Entrepreneurship, and real-world problem-solving through exciting project-based learning experiences.
Students explore how AI sees, learns, creates, and decides using tools such as ChatGPT, Teachable Machine, Canva AI, and image classification models. They learn how to use AI responsibly, not just casually.
Students build automation workflows using tools such as Zapier, Make.com, and n8n, progressing from simple triggers to branching logic and real business scenarios. This introduces them to how modern AI-powered systems actually work.
Students build with Python, AI APIs, Lovable, Edge Impulse, Micro:bit, and sensor-based projects. They learn how to create working apps, train models, process data, and build AI-powered projects from idea to output.
Through hands-on experiments, children explore science, engineering, electricity, energy, structures, air, sound, colour, pressure, and real-world problem-solving, helping them build creativity, curiosity, and confidence through practical weekly challenges.
Children build and program robots, machines, vehicles, smart city models, and sensor-based systems using tools such as SPIKE Essential, WeDo 2.0, EV3, Unikobo, Micro:bit, and more. Every activity turns engineering concepts into hands-on missions.
Students progress from screen-free coding and Scratch Junior to Scratch, Python, and app-building through interactive, age-appropriate projects that develop sequencing, debugging, logic, creativity, and real-world problem-solving skills.
Students use AI to build ideas, shape brands, plan operations, create prototypes, and pitch solutions. Shark Tank-style activities help them build confidence, communication skills, and real-world business thinking.
As technology becomes part of everyday life, children learn how to stay safe online through age-appropriate activities focused on password safety, responsible online behaviour, data protection, encryption, cyber awareness, and navigating digital spaces with confidence.
Children learn the value of saving, budgeting, spending wisely, and making smart financial decisions through interactive market maps, money games, needs-versus-wants activities, and practical age-appropriate challenges.
Kids need more than academics to thrive in today’s fast-changing world. Through teamwork, communication, leadership challenges, creative problem-solving, and collaborative projects, students build confidence, adaptability, resilience, and the real-world skills needed to succeed in any environment.

"The quality of teaching was very good and they clearly had a passion for teaching and contributing. My daughter has attended many summer camps over the years and this is the only one that she enjoyed. I would happily recommend STEM for Kids programs to other parents!''
Lots of things to do and we hope to be back. Thank you to Miss Raghad and the other teachers who were very friendly, and sent through daily photos. Thanks very much.
Great experience! Positive everyday. Our son confident so we knew settling would be fine. But he enjoyed camp overall and is looking forward to attending again.
My boys really enjoyed going to the classes and could not wait to start each morning. The loved the building and programming - so much so that we struggled to get them out of the door each afternoon!
My son enjoyed the coding and would come home and discuss the projects he worked on. I think he enjoyed working with the robots the most.
It was a really fun experience for my child. She looked forward to attending each day and before we left home, checked to see what was scheduled for the day to see if the experiment was possible! Every day she told us about what she had learned.

At Pure Minds Academy, we harness innovative technologies to captivate and engage young minds, ensuring each child is equipped with practical, real-world skills. Our teaching methodology emphasizes hands-on experiences, blending theory with active collaboration and adaptability to prepare students for future challenges. We go beyond traditional education by incorporating life skills like gratitude and mindfulness, alongside stimulating activities like the Rubik's Cube challenge to enhance spatial recognition and focus. Our approach ensures a holistic development, preparing children to thrive in a rapidly evolving world.
Our trainers are trained to provide differentiated learning experiences, grouping children based on their abilities rather than strictly by age. This approach allows instructors to tailor support and challenges according to each student's needs. It also offers opportunities for advanced learners to delve deeper into activities, ensuring that every child can thrive and explore at their own pace.
At Pure Minds Academy, our passion for teaching and innovative activities create an engaging and memorable experience that keeps kids coming back. Parents consistently praise our camp for its quality instruction, daily variety of projects, and focus on teamwork and creativity. One parent shared, "My daughter has attended many summer camps, and this is the only one she enjoyed." We strive to foster a love of learning and ensure each child looks forward to returning every day.
All the materials required for the camp activities will be provided by Pure Minds Academy including laptops and tablets, as required. You must send water bottle, snacks for the short break, and lunch for the lunch break. Food will not be provided.
Across all age groups, a typical camp day includes three exciting activities: a STEM challenge, a tech-based project (robotics, coding, or electronics), and a life skills/engineering activity. Children will also enjoy a 15-minute snack break and a 30-minute lunch break, giving them time to refuel and socialize while having fun!
No prior experience or knowledge in STEM, robotics, and coding is required to join our camp. The camp is suitable for beginners as well as more experienced students. We ensure differentiated learning based on the student experience.
To provide dedicated attention to every child, each group of ten students is guided by a trainer and a teaching assistant. Should the group size increase, we will assign an additional teaching assistant to maintain our commitment to personalized care. We cap group sizes at 20 to ensure quality supervision. Staff members are always present to supervise the children, and for our youngest participants, aged 4-6, a teaching assistant accompanies them to the washroom for added safety and support.
The activities at Pure Minds Academy are diverse and unique across all age groups, with different themes each week of each program to keep children motivated, challenged, and engaged. You can select any week or all the weeks of the camp, as there is no repetition of activities. For the 4-6 and 7-9 groups, we accept daily registrations. However, for the 10-14 group, we recommend registering for the full week to benefit from the progressive activities.
