Fuel creativity! Power Mac Center’s Basecamp kicks off summer tech workshops


As technology becomes increasingly integral to everyday life, digitally savvy kids can enhance their tech skills to further enrich their knowledge and creativity. This summer, Power Mac Center (PMC), through its official training arm Basecamp, is offering young learners the chance to take their digital expertise to the next level.




Basecamp’s Creativity Camp is now open for registration, welcoming children aged 7 to 15 to its highly anticipated annual summer workshops on iPad and Mac. Running from May to June, these hands-on sessions will equip kids with valuable skills in 2D and 3D design, Augmented Reality (AR), animation, podcasting, and Artificial Intelligence (AI).

“We offer kids and teens an exclusive opportunity to explore next-generation technologies through engaging, hands-on experiences. With guidance from expert instructors, they’ll unleash their creativity while gaining essential digital skills that will benefit them in the future. Our goal is to equip young learners with the knowledge and confidence to navigate the evolving digital landscape,” said Maleng Raysag, Basecamp’s head. 




Basecamp is an Apple Professional Learning Provider, only the second in Asia to have that title. By enrolling in its courses, parents are assured that kids get high-quality, impactful education that promotes creativity, critical thinking, and digital literacy using Apple technologies.

iPad Fun: Design & Tell Stories

Young minds will love exploring the endless creative possibilities of the iPad! The “3D and AR Creators: Build and Bring Stories to Life” course invites young learners to dive into the exciting worlds of 3D design and AR. With fun, easy-to-use apps, they’ll craft interactive digital models and bring their imaginative ideas to life.




Meanwhile, let your child’s creativity shine through storytelling, podcasting, and animation. In the “Creative Storytelling: Podcast and Animation Fun” course, they’ll learn to write, record, and animate their own stories using the iPad.

These engaging workshops will run on select dates, with “3D & AR Creators: Build and Bring Stories to Life” scheduled on May 6 & 8, May 13 & 15, May 20 & 22, and May 27 & 29, while “Creative Storytelling: Podcast and Animation Fun” takes place on June 3 & 5, June 10 & 12, June 17 & 19, and June 24 & 26.

Through hands-on learning, they will design stunning digital models and build a strong foundation in digital art and design.

Meanwhile, as AI transforms the digital world, give your child a headstart with “Make Your Own AI: Fun with Smart Technology.” This exciting course sparks curiosity about AI, allowing kids to discover how AI works and even build their own smart models—no coding required!

“Digital Designers: Create in 2D & 3D” will be conducted on May 7 & 9, May 14 & 16, May 21 & 23, and May 28 & 30, while “Make Your Own AI: Fun with Smart Technology” runs on June 4 & 6, June 11 & 13, June 18 & 20, and June 25 & 27.
