Future Stars PC Building Camp is a hands-on program where campers learn to assemble their own PCs and dive into the fundamentals of computer hardware and software. Working with high-quality components, participants construct and test a fully functioning computer that includes a mouse, keyboard, and monitor.

By the end of the week, campers gain a unique understanding of how computers work, along with the confidence to troubleshoot and upgrade systems. The PC building typically wraps up within the first few days, after which campers take their custom-built PC home and participate in Core STEAM Camp activities for the remainder of the week.

This program is perfect for tech enthusiasts eager to explore the inner workings of a PC.

All campers are grouped according to age and ability.
