Future Makers Camp

Viva Lab's educational activities introduce tools to support innovation, autonomy and social responsibility for children, youth and adults.

Working based on a structured process, uniting Project Based Learning, Creative Learning and Maker Mindset, we promote hands-on learning within educational institutions, in teacher training and in our courses and workshops.

We know that when educating we are co-creating the future. The activities that we develop in our summer camps, although relaxed, are designed to “bear fruit”.

Based on design thinking combined with the hands-on of the maker movement, Future Makers summer camps emphasize the process more than the result.

We look for challenges that are attractive to our makers and we pass on to them the direction and development of those same challenges. During this process, it will spark from them the need to delve into some subjects, to research ideas, to learn how to use a tool and to find solutions.
