Our IT Camp Has Ended — And It Was 5 Days Full of Discoveries!

From August 17 to 21, the NGO “Academy for Heroes” held a vibrant themed camp dedicated to the world of IT for children of Defenders and family members of fallen Heroes. Participants learned how their favorite gadgets work and why some computers “fly” while others “lag,” and built their own websites from idea to publication. They completed a first aid training session from the Lviv Regional Center for Emergency Medical Care and Disaster Medicine, and immersed themselves in English through games, competitions, movies, and project work.

Creativity was part of the mix too: the kids tried their hand at art therapy with Svitlana Hlushko and learned how to practically use artificial intelligence tools together with Viktor Kloba. They also practiced soft skills through a team game format at Sense Hub Lviv from Sense Bank.

The excursion program was packed as well: they visited TRC PERSHYI ZAKHIDNYI and Radio Pershyi, stopped by EveryMatrix, drew inspiration from the atmosphere at ZENYK ART GALLERY, and wrapped up with a meeting with city officials at Lviv City Council and a tour of the city hall.

To close out the camp, participants summed up their journey into the world of IT, discussed what worked best and where to go from here — and, of course, received their well-earned certificates! 🎓

Thank you to all our partners and experts who made this camp rich and unforgettable: EveryMatrix, ZENYK ART GALLERY, TRC PERSHYI ZAKHIDNYI, Lviv City Council, Lviv Emergency Medical Care, “Yellow” Art Studio.

See you at the next IT adventure!
