Think, build, and create like a real scientist

This camp is all about learning though hand-on building. Students will work on real engineering and science challenges, combining creativity with technical skills to develop meaningful solutions.

Throughout the week, students will:

Design and build their own systems using electronics and sensors
Learn 3D design and prototyping
Explore coding and data analysis
Apply scientific thinking and experimentation
Work collaboratively to solve real-world problems

By the end of the camp, each group of students will have developed a functional prototype or experiment, and will present their work.

This workshop is designed for students in the final four years of secondary school. Younger students are welcome to contact us at support@scientia-education.com to explore alternative suitable opportunities.

Registration Deadline

To help us confirm if the course will run, we ask all students to register by Monday 29 June. The course requires a minimum of 3 students to go ahead.

Late registrations may be accepted after this date if places are still available, but we strongly recommend signing up by 29 June to secure your spot.

If you register but the workshop does not receive enough sign-ups, we will offer one-on-one sessions instead, but with a reduced number of hours.

About the instructor

Laurin is an Ecolint alumnus (LGB Class of 2017) with a background in both Chemistry and Physics, holding two Master’s degrees. He is the co-founder of the International Institute for Accessible Technology (IIAT), where he works on developing low-cost, locally manufacturable medical technologies for underserved populations.

At the Scientia Impact Lab, Laurin leads hands-on innovation projects with students, helping them turn their ideas into real-world solutions. Recent projects include an AI-based prosthetic hand sizing tool being developed in Jordan, a fully autonomous smart greenhouse (BioBox), and a microplastic detection platform designed to monitor pollution in Lake Geneva.
