Eight weeks. Six locations. More than 100 campers. ✅🤖💻🎮

Another summer of Digital Discovery Camps is in the books, and we couldn't have done it without our returning Epic Gigabyte Sponsor, REDspace, and all of our camp mentors.

Delivered in partnership with the Discovery Centre, these camps introduce youth across Nova Scotia to fields such as coding, game development, robotics and cybersecurity through hands-on activities and opportunities to learn directly from professionals working across the province’s tech sector.

Read more about how REDspace continues to inspire young innovators on our blog: https://digitalnovascotia.com/news/redspace-continues-to-inspire-young-innovators-through-digital-discovery-camps/

Digital Discovery Camp is delivered with support from the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency.

“I just started to feel again the same person who was back home.”

As the next cohort prepares to begin in just a few weeks, read how the program helped Andrea find her confidence, community and voice again: https://digitalnovascotia.com/news/starting-over-in-canada-and-finding-her-power-through-digital-skills-for-women/
