critical thinking and problem-solving skills, while Robotics activities inspire creativity and
innovation. By combining tech and adventure, students are not only learning but
also applying their knowledge in meaningful, real-world contexts.
With digital literacy fast becoming an essential skill in the modern world, JCA’s decision

programming or tinkering with robots, students are gaining the tech fluency they’ll need
to thrive in the digital age—all while still geing to enjoy the traditional outdoor activities
that JCA is renowned for.
The coding workshops are designed to inspire curiosity and confidence in students of
all ages. These sessions fit seamlessly into JCA’s broader mission to foster resilience and
adaptability—skills that are just as essential in the digital world as they are in the great
outdoors. By pairing STEM learning with physical adventure, JCA ensures students leave
their residential trip not only with memories of abseiling and kayaking but also with
newfound skills that will serve them well in an ever-changing technological landscape.
