The Programmers Zone Winter Camp is a hands-on learning camp for children aged 8-13 (ages 6-7 are welcome when joining an older sibling), held at Yas Creative Hub, Yas Island, Abu Dhabi. Over two weeks - 14-18 December and 21-25 December 2026 - children build, code and create across Engineering, Robotics, Circuits, Artificial Intelligence, 3D Designing (3D printing and 3D pen), App Designing, Block Coding, Python, Maths and Reading. Every day is different, in small groups.
Two sessions every day (Monday to Friday)
- Morning session: 8:30 AM - 11:30 AM
- Afternoon session: 12:00 PM - 3:00 PM
Every 3-hour session mixes making, coding and thinking - for example a robotics or circuits build, a Python or block-coding task, and a maths or reading challenge - so no child spends three hours on one thing. Most families choose one session. Children who want the full day can add the second session.
