Learn by doing
No endless lectures: every day you build, test and break something — then build it back better.
Tech camps for all ages
Code. Build. Explore.
Hackgrove turns programming into a camp experience: small teams, daily challenges, real projects, expert mentors and a final demo where every student presents something they've built.

What is Hackgrove
Not an academy.
A camp where you learn by building.
At Hackgrove students learn programming, AI, robotics, game development, ethical cybersecurity and digital product creation through real projects, collaborating and solving challenges in a camp environment.
Spirit of adventure
Daily challenges, team missions and outdoor dynamics that turn learning tech into an expedition.
Community & mentors
Small teams guided by technical mentors who work in the industry and know how to teach with warmth.
Final Demo Day
Every student finishes by presenting their own project to the group and families. From first line to first launch.

For parents
Serious technology in a safe, trusted environment
We know the word hack can raise questions. At Hackgrove it means what it has always meant among makers: building, experimenting and solving problems. We teach ethical cybersecurity — how to protect, never how to attack — along with values of responsible technology use.
- Qualified mentors with proven experience working with minors
- Small ratios: one mentor for every 6 students
- Supervised online environments and a digital-safety protocol
- Daily communication with families during camp
- Strictly defensive, ethical cybersecurity with a signed code of conduct
Frequently asked questions
Your questions, answered
What ages does Hackgrove accept?
All of them: we run groups from age 12 up with no upper limit, including groups for adults. They are organized by age range and level so every student progresses at their own pace.
Do I need previous coding experience?
No. There are paths for absolute beginners and advanced programs (Hackgrove Labs) for those who already code. During enrollment we assess each student's level to assign the right group.
Does "hack" mean you teach hacking?
We teach ethical, defensive cybersecurity: how systems work, how to protect them and how to use technology responsibly. All students sign a code of conduct and we only work in legal, controlled practice environments.
What does my child need to bring?
Just the urge to build. We provide the computers, robotics kits and all technical materials. For on-site camps we send a packing list once the spot is confirmed.
How does Hackgrove Online work?
With the same structure as the on-site camp: small teams, daily challenges, live mentors and a final Demo Day over video call. Sessions adapt to different time zones.
How do I book a spot, and how much does it cost?
Write to us through the contact form telling us which program you're interested in and we'll send you dates, prices and the enrollment process. Spots are limited due to our small ratios.
