We started running a STEM camp on our island last year. The camp is currently geared for students from grade 3 to 8th.
It was so successful that we are now running two a year. One during summer break and the other during fall break.
The students spend half the day in a robotics workshop featuring FIRST Lego for the beginners and Vex for the more advanced. The other half of the students day is in workshops with local high tech professionals.

We will hopefully be expanding the program soon for older students which will incorporate a FRC build based on previous years. We are talking about making the Logo Motion mini bots as our first challenge and expanding to larger projects as the outreach program grows.
The last day of the camp is competition day. Each student group will then compete with their robot on a Tiki Tech student designed game. With the camp ending in a FIRST type awards ceremony.
The entire program is designed and run by the Tiki Tech students. We had over 100 students attend our last camp. Which was huge success and was a front page feature in the paper.
