Rubiks

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!

AI BOOTCAMP 2026

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.

AI Awareness & Tools

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.

Agentic AI

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. 

Vibecoding

 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.

What our families say

Whether you are a family, a school or a corporation our mission is to work with as many like minded people to deliver STEM learning and life skills to as many children around the world as possible.

  • The only camp my daughter enjoyed

    "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!''

    Parent of one of our camp students
  • We hope to be back!

    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.

    Parent of one of our camp students
  • Great Experience!

    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.

    Parent of one of our camp students
  • Everything was perfect!

    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!

    Parent of one of our camp students
  • The most valuable lesson was teamwork

    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.

    Parent of one of our camp students
  • She wanted to be prepared!

    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.

Summer Camp FAQs

How does Pure Minds Academy make learning practical and hands-on?

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.

How do you tailor the camp experience to accommodate the varied developmental stages within each age group?

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.

What makes Pure Minds Academy's summer camp stand out from other camps?

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.

What should my child(ren) bring to the camp?

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.

What does a typical day at the camp look like?

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!

Are there any prerequisites for attending the camp?

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.

What is the student-to-instructor ratio?

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.

Can my child attend only certain weeks or days of the camp?

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.
