The initiative organizes summer camps for middle school students aged 10 to 13 from both Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot communities. These camps provide hands-on STEAM workshops designed to foster collaboration, friendship, and mutual understanding among participants. The camps are held in Nicosia, Cyprus, and have been supported by the U.S. Embassy in Cyprus and the Alumni Exchange Innovation Fund (AEIF).

The program emphasizes the use of science as a universal language to bridge cultural divides and promote peacebuilding efforts on the island. By engaging young students in collaborative STEAM activities, the initiative seeks to inspire a new generation committed to unity and innovation.
