Moments from each program, and what the students who were there say about them.

Summer Intensive

  • Students along a table crowded with laptops, cables and equipment cases raise their hands high to answer a question.

  • At the MEC.TECH Summer Camp, I discovered how technology could amplify my love for music—building a music wand keyboard and experimenting with new sounds on my violin made creativity feel limitless.

  • Three students in headphones crouch on the grass beside a sports field, holding a recorder with a furry windscreen close to the ground.

  • MEC.TECH was a truly wonderful experience for my son. The supportive staff, especially Professor Ian, helped ease his initial nervousness and inspired his confidence as he built his first music wand keyboard and discovered the joy of learning through creativity.

  • A soldering iron heats the pins of a small purple motion-sensor board while a desoldering pump draws away the melted solder, on a blue work mat.

  • MEC.TECH was an amazing and inspiring experience. Professor Hattwick created a supportive space where everyone could explore, share, and grow together—pushing us to expand our creativity in both music and coding.

    Edouard F.Student
  • A student in a black jacket explains an idea with both hands as a student in a green T-shirt leans over the table to listen, beside a student typing on a laptop.

  • MEC.TECH a été une expérience exceptionnelle pour Édouard. En cinq jours, il a exploré de nouvelles technologies, collaboré avec d’autres passionnés et créé sa propre baguette de direction. Le programme a éveillé de nouvelles passions et renforcé sa confiance — le moment fort de son été.
