Some 42 participants aged eight to 12 years old from Belait, Tutong and Brunei-Muara districts participated in the camp, engaging in science and mathematics oriented activities.

The participants were exposed to alternative science and mathematics learning methods via hands on, fun and intereactive activities such as the `Logo Making', where students had to come up with their team name, logo and chant. Their creativity were put to test when they were given limited recyclable materials and limited time to come up with their logo.

The campers also did a number of science activities such as the Volcano Eruption, the Coke and Mentos experiment and the Who did it, CSI of Cool Science Department.
