The Hsinchu City Science Education Promotion Association (社團法人新竹市科學教育推廣協會), also called SEA Science Lab, is a Hsinchu nonprofit that teaches robotics and coding to children and runs holiday camps. In summer 2026 it ran the English STEAM Discovery Camp (2026 英語科技探索營) for ages 7 to 14.
The 2026 camp opened on July 6 and ran eight weekly themes, the last starting August 24. Each week stood on its own, so families could book one week or several. Track A (ages 7 to 9) built powered robot models to explore forces, water and wind power and structures. Track B (ages 10 to 14) coded BBC Micro:bit sensors to collect light, temperature, sound and motion data and prepared science-fair style presentations.
Mornings were in English: thinking skills, then science vocabulary, reading and speaking. Afternoons were hands-on STEAM labs in Chinese, with a project showcase every Friday and a full-day outdoor field trip on Wednesdays. The 2026 camp is over, and 2027 details were not published when we checked on October 15, 2026.

Good to know
Hsinchu classes used rented classrooms in the National Tsing Hua University College of Education area. The association says the camp is not organized, co-organized, sponsored or endorsed by the university.
Zhubei classes met at Ruitu Learning Technology, No. 161, Section 1, Fuxing 3rd Road.
The 2026 day ran from 08:00 check-in to 18:30 pick-up, with lessons from 09:00 to 17:00 and a snack break at 15:00.
The association says children do not need fluent English to join; teachers adjust to each child's level.
Track B students were asked to bring their own laptop if possible.
