School holidays are precious. They are a chance to rest, recharge, and — if you are a Giiyo Tech student — to build something incredible.

The Giiyo Tech Holiday STEM Bootcamp is our flagship intensive programme, running during school breaks and giving children aged 7–17 a full week of hands-on learning across coding, robotics, AI, and digital creativity. No prior experience needed. Just curiosity and a willingness to try.

What a Bootcamp Week Looks Like

Bootcamp days run from 9am to 3pm with a mix of structured learning, free-build time, and team challenges. Here is how a typical week unfolds:

Who Is the Bootcamp For?

Our bootcamps welcome students aged 7–17. We group participants by age and experience level so that complete beginners are not overwhelmed and advanced students are always challenged. No laptop? No problem — we can arrange device access for students who need it.

What Parents Say

"My daughter came home after Day 1 and immediately started explaining what she had coded. I had never seen her that excited about school work." — Parent, Douala bootcamp participant

"My son wanted to skip his cousin's birthday party because he did not want to miss Day 4's build session. That tells you everything." — Parent, Yaoundé bootcamp participant

When Is the Next Bootcamp?

We run holiday bootcamps during every major school holiday period — December, Easter, and long summer breaks. Spaces fill quickly, especially for the robotics and AI tracks.
