Summer Academy: Code “Smart Summer” — Technology, Science, and Games for Kids

Summer vacation isn’t just a time for rest—it’s also a great opportunity for children to explore the world of science, technology, and imagination. That’s exactly what Academy: Code “Smart Summer” —a joint initiative by Logiscool and Muzeiko offers. Aimed at children aged 6 to 12, the academy combines educational experiences with games and discovery, introducing young minds to digital technologies and science in an engaging and accessible way.

What is Academy: Code “Smart Summer”?

Academy: Code “Smart Summer” is a full-day summer program developed through the combined expertise of two leading organizations in children’s education—Logiscool, specializing in digital and coding instruction, and Muzeiko, the largest children’s science center in Southeast Europe. This collaboration stems from a long-term partnership and a shared mission: to inspire kids to learn through hands-on experiences, to experiment, and to think critically from an early age.

What does a typical day look like?

Running from 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM, the daily schedule of Academy: Code “Smart Summer” is split into two main parts:

• Morning sessions at Muzeiko – dedicated to science and exploration. Children take part in experiments related to water, electricity, natural phenomena, and the environment. Activities include visits to the planetarium, scientific labs, and creative science workshops. 
• Afternoon sessions with Logiscool – focused on technology and programming. Kids work with digital tools, develop logical thinking, and tackle challenges involving programming and computer literacy. One highlight is the use of the video game Minecraft, which is both popular and effective as an educational tool, helping kids build logical thinking, spatial awareness, and creativity through the creation of digital worlds.

Educational Goals and Skill Development

Academy: Code “Smart Summer” goes beyond traditional summer camps by offering a meaningful, future-oriented educational experience. The main goals include:

• Introducing fundamental scientific principles in an age-appropriate way; 
• Stimulating creative thinking and problem-solving; 
• Building digital competencies and basic programming skills; 
• Encouraging collaboration, experimentation, and active learning. 

A Weekly Theme for Every Explorer

One of the unique aspects of Academy: Code “Smart Summer” is its thematic variety. Each week focuses on a different topic—ranging from “Space and Astronomy” to “Robotics and Electronics”—so children can return multiple times without repeating content. This keeps the experience fresh, exciting, and filled with discovery.
