Maker.sg Holiday Camps — What They Do and What They Offer

Maker.sg runs holiday camp programmes in Singapore that focus on hands-on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) learning, robotics, engineering and creative making for children. These camps are designed to combine play with experiential learning where kids build, invent and explore technology, engineering concepts and maker-style projects — encouraging curiosity, problem-solving and practical skill development.

Maker’s holiday camps run seasonally (for example Summer, Autumn, Christmas, CNY and Easter camps) and are structured so that children experience new activities each time they attend, with constantly updated projects and challenges.

Core Focus & Educational Approach

At the heart of Maker.sg’s holiday camps is the idea that children learn best by doing. Camp activities are hands-on, engaging and project-driven, emphasising:

• Robotics builds and programming (e.g., LEGO robotics, Ozobot worlds)
• Engineering projects and invention tasks
• Circuit modelling and maker tools such as 3D pens, Makey Makey, Chibitronics and similar kits
• Creative problem-solving and logical thinking
• Designing, constructing and testing real creations
• Games, competitions and collaborative challenges

Camps emphasise exploration, creativity and encouragement rather than rote instruction. Children work in small groups (usually around 5 kids per group) so that instructors can provide personalised guidance and ensure a supportive learning environment.

Typical Camp Themes & Activities

Maker.sg’s holiday camp offerings vary by season, but most fall into several core categories:

1. Robotics & Engineering Holiday Camp

This is Maker’s flagship holiday programme, where children design and build their own robots, learn basic programming concepts, work with construction kits like LEGO (e.g., LEGO EV3, LEGO WeDo) and participate in robot challenges and competitions. Projects can include building machines such as mini robots or creative mechanical models.

2. Inventors Camp

Some holiday seasons include an Inventors Camp where campers explore engineering, electronics and creative invention through guided projects. This could involve electronics experiments, 3D modelling, creative design tasks and inventive problem-solving scenarios that help children think like young engineers.

3. Seasonal Special Camps

Maker.sg runs holiday-specific versions of its camps timed to school breaks such as:

• Chinese New Year (CNY) Holiday Camp
• Summer Holiday Camps
• Autumn/September Holiday Camps
• Christmas Holiday Camps
• Easter Camps

Each brings new activities while maintaining the same focus on STEM, making, building and creative engineering projects.

Age Range & Suitability

Maker.sg’s holiday camps are generally designed for children aged approximately 5–13 years old, although some programmes may list a broader range (e.g., up to 14). Camps do not typically require prior technical experience and are suitable for beginners as well as those who want to deepen their interest in robotics, engineering and maker-style activities.

Camp Structure & Daily Format

Holiday camps mostly run full-day sessions from around 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM with breaks for lunch and snacks included. In many cases, camps also offer optional bus transport for families who need logistical support.

Typical features of a Maker.sg holiday camp include:

• Hands-on project work using maker tools and robotics kits
• Small group collaboration to build social skills
• Creative challenges and activities that encourage experimentation
• Demonstrations by instructors and guided build sessions
• Daily take-home creations (each child usually gets to keep models made during camp)
• Games, quizzes and friendly competitions to reinforce learning and engagement

Locations & Logistics

Maker.sg operates camps at multiple locations across Singapore, often including sites in Central (River Valley), East (Joo Chiat), West (Bukit Timah) and Novena areas. Choosing from different venues helps families across the island access programmes conveniently.

Camp registration is done through Maker.sg’s website or sign-up links, and parents can select specific holiday weeks, locations and optional add-ons (such as bus transport) during registration.

Benefits for Participants

Children who take part in Maker.sg’s holiday camps can expect to develop:

• STEM skills such as robotics assembly, engineering concepts and introductory programming
• Creative thinking and inventiveness by working on open-ended projects
• Problem-solving confidence through hands-on experimentation
• Teamwork and collaboration with peers
• Practical knowledge of maker tools and emerging technologies
• Self-confidence by completing concrete outcomes and daily creations

Maker.sg’s holiday programs aim to make science and technology tangible and fun — helping children build both skills and enthusiasm for STEAM subjects in an interactive environment.

Conclusion

Maker.sg’s holiday camps in Singapore are hands-on STEM and maker programmes for children aged roughly 5–13 years that focus on robotics, engineering, coding, invention and creative problem-solving. They combine practical project work, small group collaboration, engaging challenges and real take-home creations to make learning both fun and meaningful during school breaks. With camps offered across multiple locations and various seasonal themes (Summer, CNY, Christmas, etc.), Maker.sg provides an immersive way for kids to explore technology and creativity in a supportive camp environment.
