From July 28 to August 1, the Maker Space at the Instituto Cultural Domínico Americano was filled with excitement, ingenuity, and discovery during Maker Week 2025, a technological, educational, and creative camp for children ages 8 to 12.

The purpose of Maker Week 2025 was to strengthen children’s knowledge of technology and robotics in a fun, collaborative, and creative environment. Throughout the week, participants engaged in various hands-on activities that stimulated their curiosity, creative thinking, and 21st-century skills.

This camp was organized by the Instituto Cultural Domínico Americano, through its Educational Innovation unit, in collaboration with Akompas Education. This synergy allowed for a unique educational experience where learning and technology came together to transform the way children learn and express themselves.

Among the highlights, they built and customized birdhouses, learned 3D design with Tinkercad, explored how a 3D printer works, and were introduced to basic electronics and programming by creating a traffic light with Arduino. They also designed and launched their own explorer robots with VEX GO, integrating principles of engineering and teamwork.

The week concluded with a heartwarming Festival of Creations, where participants presented their projects to their families using creative posters and live demonstrations. It was a proud ending, where each child showcased everything they had learned and enjoyed.

The Instituto Cultural Domínico Americano reaffirms its commitment to innovative and purposeful education, creating spaces where children can imagine, build, and share.
