Okay, how’s this for a fun fact? There’s a Space Science & Tech Lab in Dubai where kids are literally building rockets, coding robots, and talking to actual ex-NASA scientists like it’s no big deal! Yep, this is not your average summer camp. It’s called the Space Tech Summer Camp by Lab of Future, and honestly, it sounds like something straight out of a sci-fi movie. I have even more incredible details where that’s from, so keep reading to find out how your kids can have the best summer in Dubai this year!

So… What’s Actually Going On Here?
Get ready for the bliss of knowing your kid’s summer break isn’t spent just watching cartoons or scrolling YouTube. But instead launching rockets and simulating life on Mars. No biggie, just a super casual summer afternoon. Here’s the kind of cool stuff they’ll be doing:
- Designing and launching real rockets
- Building AI-powered rovers (because of course they are)
- Simulating Mars landings like little astronauts-in-training
- Coding gesture-controlled robots
- Taking on tech challenges that’ll make them feel like they work for NASA
- Chatting live with real ex-NASA and European Space Agency scientists
It’s basically summer break, but with more robots and fewer ice creams melting on the floor.
Not Just Another Science Camp
The whole thing is built on something called the STREAMER framework (fancy name, very cool idea). It basically means your kids get to learn a mix of Science, Technology, Research, Engineering, Arts, Maths, Entrepreneurship, and Resilience! So, they’re not just learning random facts, they’re actually inventing stuff. Get ready to have another Thomas Edison on our hands.
Where’s This All Happening?
Good news – they’ve got 4 locations across the UAE, so chances are there’s one near you:
- Karama
- Al Barsha South
- Sharjah
- Expo City Dubai
And if driving back and forth between your home and Space Science & Tech Lab is the part that is bothering you the most then you’ll be happy to hear this. These guys have sorted out FREE transport from over 100+ spots to help make commuting much easier. Oh and did I mention there will be exclusive space goodies for every kid who signs up (because who doesn’t love a freebie?).
Different Adventures For Different Ages
They’ve also split things up by age, so no one gets stuck doing baby projects, or gets thrown into full NASA-level coding by accident.
- Junior Cadets (6–10 years): Fun projects, cool robotics, space-themed creativity – the good stuff.
- Senior Cadets (11–14 years): Advanced builds, space tech simulations, coding missions – the really good stuff.
Space, But Make It Summer Break!
The camps for Junior and Senior Cadets have already blasted off and are on full throttle. If your kid’s idea of fun is tech, coding, space, or anything remotely futuristic – this is the summer story they’re going to tell for years.
Seats are limited, space helmets optional – visit their website for more information and to make your bookings, now!
