Frequently Asked Questions

Our labs cover practical technology skills across electronics, programming, design, and full-stack development. Each lab is hands-on and project-based, aligned with the GCE Computer Science and Physics curricula where relevant. Students build real projects and leave with portfolio-ready work.

Youth Tech Labs offers six focused labs: Electronics & Arduino (electronics fundamentals, C programming, circuit logic); C & SQL (foundational programming and databases); Python (high-level programming for younger students); Full-Stack Web Development (HTML, CSS, JavaScript); Web Design UI/UX (interface design, layout, typography); and Logo Design & Visual Branding (visual identity and branding).

The Youth Tech Labs summer bootcamp runs from mid-June to mid-July each year, lasting approximately five weeks. All labs are offered during this period. Youth Tech Academy courses run during the school year in partnership with participating schools.

Youth Tech Labs (YTL) is our intensive summer bootcamp — a 5-week program with hands-on labs in electronics, programming, and design. Youth Tech Academy (YTA) is our school-year program delivered in partnership with schools, offering structured courses like Arduino & Electronics and Foundations of Programming throughout the academic year. Both are free for students.
