2 What is Fire Tech Camp? Fire Tech Camp brings these together to empower your child with the right skills and environment so that they can build something amazing. We are a leading tech education provider, putting the power of technology into kids hands so that they can create their own games, design smartphone apps, code like a pro, build robots to do their bidding, and learn much more in the fields of programming, engineering, design, making and the digital arts! During school holiday periods and weekends, children aged 9 to 17 spend time gaining great skills, and getting exposure to the inner workings of the games and tech world. Young people will make new friends, stretch their horizons, and enjoy the support of a world-class team.
