🪔 Dasara Maker Quest · Ages 6–8

10 Days. 3 Learning Areas.
1 Grand Celebration.

A playful, story-led technology adventure for young children. They start with stories and Block-Based Coding, move on to Electronics that make lights and sounds respond, and finish by programming a robot through a Dasara-themed world. Every activity has a story, a visible result and a small challenge to solve.

What your child will learn

Four Skills, Learned Through Play

At this age, success means confidence with technology and a willingness to experiment, not memorising technical terms. Children first make something happen, then learn a simple name for what they discovered.

🎨

Creative Confidence

Children turn an idea into a story, an animation, a model or a working creation.

They can say: "I made this, and I can explain how it works."
🧩

Computational Thinking

They see that instructions need an order, and that different instructions give different results.

They can say: "I can make a character move because I gave it instructions."
💡

Maker Confidence

They get comfortable connecting simple components and watching their code change something in the real world.

They can say: "When I press this, the palace light turns on."
🔧

Problem Solving

They learn that a mistake is useful information: look at what happened, change one thing and try again.

They can say: "Rocky went the wrong way, so I changed the instructions."
The 10-day Dasara maker journey

From Royal Invitation to Grand Showcase

Every mission is part of one story: children help prepare the Grand Dasara Celebration. They start with familiar storytelling, move on to physical making and finish with robotics, so the challenge grows a little each day.

Days 1–3

DAY 09 · CREATIVE CHALLENGE

Prepare the Grand Dasara

Teams pick a celebration mission and use what they learned in coding, electronics and robotics to prepare one part of the Grand Dasara.

DAY 10 · SHOWCASE

Grand Dasara Makers' Showcase

Children show their favourite creation to parents, complete one final maker challenge and explain what they built and what they changed when it didn't work.

Why this camp is different

Technology That Feels Like an Adventure

Designed around how 6–8 year olds think, move and focus, not as a shorter version of a class for older children.

01

Story First, Terms Later

Children enter the world of Dasara through characters and missions. They learn sequencing and cause-and-effect without feeling like they are in a programming class.

02

Discovering, Not Copying

Children don't just follow steps to finish a model. They try something, see what happens, change one thing and explain the result.

03

Three Technologies, One Story

Block-Based Coding for digital storytelling, Electronics to connect code to real objects, and Robotics to make programming visible through movement.

04

Small Wins, Every Session

Short challenges with instant results. Children get a small success before they take on the next challenge.

05

Foundations Before AI

Sequencing, cause-and-effect, making and debugging are the skills children need before more advanced AI ideas make sense.

06

Every Child Shows & Explains

Each mission follows a short maker cycle, and every child gets a moment at the final showcase to share what they discovered.

The final celebration

Storyteller → Maker → Robot Navigator

On Day 10, parents don't just hear that their child attended a workshop. They watch their child demonstrate what they made, explain how it works and share one problem they solved along the way.

Storyteller

Days 1–3
Block-Based Coding
  • Characters that move because the child gave instructions
  • An animated Dasara palace with sound and repeat actions
  • A procession where everything happens in the right order

Maker

Days 4–6
Electronics
  • A palace model with real celebration lights
  • A button that starts a light pattern or sound
  • A gate that responds when a visitor arrives

Robot Navigator

Days 7–8
Robotics
  • Forward, turn and stop commands for Rocky the robot
  • A planned route through the Jamboo Savari
  • Testing the route and fixing it when Rocky goes wrong
The final question for every child: "What did you make, and what did you discover?"

Questions Parents Ask

Does my child need coding experience?

No. The journey begins with stories, movement and simple visual instructions. No prior coding experience is needed.

Is this too technical for a 6-year-old?

No. The technical depth is kept low on purpose. Children work with real objects, short challenges, visual blocks and instant feedback instead of abstract programming ideas.

Why three different technologies?

Each one gives a different experience. Block-Based Coding builds digital storytelling, Electronics connects code to physical objects, and Robotics makes programming visible through movement.

Is the goal to teach AI?

For this age group, the priority is building the foundation: sequencing, cause-and-effect, making, debugging and confidence. Children need these skills before more advanced AI ideas become meaningful.

Can parents see what their child has made?

Yes. Day 10 ends with the Grand Dasara Makers' Showcase, where every child demonstrates a creation and explains how it works.

My child is 8 or older. Is there a camp for them?

Yes. Children aged 8–16 can join the AI Tinker Garage Dasara Camp, where they build smart gadgets with Arduino and micro:bit and finish with an AI vision project.
