Set against the backdrop of the vibrant Bitcoin 2024 conference in Nashville, Tennessee, Satoshi Summer Camp is the highlight for families attending the event. This two-day extravaganza promises to combine fun, education, and community-building in a way never seen before.
At the heart of Satoshi Summer Camp is the Family Fun Zone, a hub of activities where kids and families can participate in a variety of enriching experiences. From instructor-led arts and crafts to kid-approved snacks and even an indoor play area, there’s something for every member of the family to enjoy. Parents can relax and connect with other families while their little ones have fun on the bouncy castle or at the activity stations.
For the older kids, ages 6 to 12, there is the Bitcoin STEM Camp, in collaboration with BSTEMoffers a hands-on educational journey into the world of Bitcoin technology. Parents can drop off their big kids for two days of learning, led by experienced instructors. Kids will delve into topics like 3D printing, cryptology, setting up nodes, and even designing games in Minecraft. It’s a chance for young Bitcoin enthusiasts to deepen their understanding of the digital currency in a fun and engaging way.
As the world of Bitcoin continues to grow, one group of parents is pioneering a unique approach to introducing Bitcoin to the next generation. Inspired by their own journey into Bitcoin, Emily and David Bailey welcomed their first child around the time of their now world-famous Bitcoin conference, Bitcoin 2019, in San Francisco, CA. Two years later, their conference had grown significantly, and after seeing the half-pipes and sprawling art gallery in Miami for Bitcoin 2021, the Baileys envisioned a space where families could come together to explore, learn, and play the exciting world of Bitcoin. And so, this year’s Satoshi Summer Camp was born.
“We wanted to create an experience that would not only teach kids about Bitcoin, but also create a sense of community among families,” says Emily Bailey. “Bitcoin is more than just a financial instrument; it’s a culture, and we want to make sure everyone, including kids, feels included and excited about its potential.”
Space for Satoshi Summer Camp is limited and families are encouraged to reserve their spots early to avoid missing out on this unique opportunity. There are two types of passes, one for the fun zone – aimed at children aged 5 and under – and one that includes BSTEM for children aged 6 to 12.
Founded by Bitcoin advocate Zach Shelton and based in Virginia, BSTEM specializes in providing engaging STEM programs specifically tailored to young Bitcoin enthusiasts. With a team of experienced instructors and a focus on hands-on learning, BSTEM is the perfect partner for Satoshi Summer Camp’s educational efforts.
In their quest to provide an unforgettable experience for families, Satoshi Summer Camp and BSTEM have partnered with a handful of other Bitcoin companies to build a comprehensive and complete platform for the kids. Satoshi Summer Camp is excited to announce the Tuttle Twins as a sponsor and contributor with kid-approved cartoons and books for campers to enjoy. Arts and Crafts will incorporate a Lightning piggy bank for kids, courtesy of Lightning Piggyand Bitcoin monster character design with Spiral’s Here comes Bitcoin. Campers also learn about the new games of SCHAmory And FreeMarketKidsParents can join in the fun and meet the artists, authors, and creators who support Bitcoin families.
“Bitcoin is not strictly an ideology. Culture is malleable. We have to remember that these are kids, and what it means to be a Bitcoiner will certainly change over the next decade as our kids grow up,” Bailey explained further. “Our goal is to make it fun for kids.”
Campers and their families can explore the Expo Hall on guided “field tours.” Destinations include the Mining Village, the Art Gallery, and the opportunity to participate in a collaborative mural by Marco Santini.
Camp begins on Friday, July 26 and runs through Saturday, July 27. The Family Fun Zone welcomes families for a day of play and planned activities designed for them to come and go as they please. The Bitcoin STEM program begins each day at 9:00 am and ends at 4:30 pm. Lunch and snacks will be provided to all campers both days. On Industry Day, July 25, there will be a soft opening with the playground open for free play from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm.
As the Bitcoin 2024 conference approaches, anticipation is growing for Satoshi Summer Camp. Families from around the world are gearing up for a weekend of fun, learning, and community building in Music City, where the spirit of Bitcoin will be alive and well. Don’t miss your chance to be a part of this groundbreaking event!
