It’s so much fun, they won’t realise they are actually learning some very important coding and tech skills for their future.

They’ll learn about drone tech and safety, movie making, and discover how drones have a positive social impact when used to fight bushfires, rescue koalas, spot sharks on the coast and loads more!
6. Become a YouTuber (8 – 13 years) 3 days
Take a YouTube fixation and turn it into something incredibly productive where kids can learn planning, storytelling, filming and video editing to become the star in their very own YouTube-style videos.
