Kuwait International Bank (KIB) recently concluded its fourth annual Life Academy Summer Camp, a two-week program held at CODED Academy for the children and relatives of its employees. The initiative, organized in partnership with CODED Academy, is part of KIB’s broader commitment to education, skill development, and corporate social responsibility.
The summer camp aimed to provide a balanced blend of educational and recreational activities designed to engage participants both mentally and physically. The curriculum integrated technical learning with team-based physical activities and innovative technology experiences. Children had the opportunity to develop programming and problem-solving skills through hands-on work with robots such as Sphero and mBot. Additionally, they explored creative and technological concepts via 3D pen design, virtual reality, and introductory artificial intelligence exercises.
The camp concluded with a presentation event where participants showcased their projects to family members and peers, demonstrating their newfound knowledge and abilities developed over the course of the program.
Siham AlKhorayef, Senior Manager of Learning and Development at KIB, highlighted the importance of the camp, noting that it reflects the bank’s ongoing effort to equip younger generations with practical and intellectual skills essential for their future. AlKhorayef emphasized that the partnership with CODED Academy allowed for a dynamic and enjoyable learning environment tailored to children’s age and interests.
She further explained that KIB’s investment extends beyond its employees to include their families, providing a unique opportunity for children to develop practical and life skills in a supportive and engaging setting.
The camp forms part of KIB’s commitment to its Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) framework and broader social responsibility initiatives. Supporting educational programs aligns with the bank’s dedication to fostering young national talent, nurturing creativity, and contributing to the goals outlined in Kuwait’s New Kuwait 2035 vision for sustainable development.
