Who is the summer program for

The summer program is aimed at technology- and workshop-enthusiastic children ages 8 to 14 who enjoy tinkering, building, and experimenting. No prior knowledge is necessary—curiosity, creativity, and the joy of working together are the focus.


With the Gemini Summer Workshop, we aim to introduce children to craft and technical skills in a playful way. In a safe environment, they discover the joy of building things themselves, understanding technology, and implementing ideas together. Our goal: to spark enthusiasm – for tools, technology, and their own skills.
