Are your kids interested in technology? Register your kids for our Summer Time Technology Program for a journey into creativity and discovery. We welcome kids ages 5 -13 for all of our Camps: Technology & STEM activities from 9am-4pm daily. Drop-off between 830-9am.

This camp is for kids who love to build and create things. The program will introduce the design process and principles of coding. Kids will work in teams to develop a product and discover ways to create. Each week focuses on a different theme and will also include science, STEM, and social activities. Please see the details below. The following is a schedule of activities:

MUSIC PRODUCTION, FILM, & PHOTOGRAPHY

Kids will enjoy using music, video, and photography to bring their creative expressions to life during this camp. The music session will focus on music production using the audio editing tools, equipment, and software of professional music producers. We will have guest producers in the industry to provide a real world experience on how beats are created and music is mixed. The film and photography sessions will operate hand in hand for capturing images and video footage; The kids will learn how to operate the camera and understand terminology. The film production session will focus on pre-production (developing a storyline using a storyboard), production (filming and directing), and post-production (editing) phases. We will use Pinnacle Studio 16 for the video editing, as well as look into other common mobile video editing software. The photography session will focus on capturing images and photo editing using Adobe Photoshop. The final project will consist of a compilation of the student's work as a short film or PSA that will include the music and photography.

ROBOTICS

For this camp, kids will use their creativity to develop the skills of an Engineer of Robots. They will design, build, and program the LEGO Mindstorm EV3. The students will learn the basic functions of the robot and program basic movements. With progress, they will work in teams to complete more challenging activities, which will include programming the 4 sensors (ultrasonic, gyro, touch, and color), allowing the robot to respond to different variables in its setting. Students will learn problem solving and critical thinking skills through trial and error experimentation and testing their programming. The final project will consist of the students programming the robot to use 3 of the 4 sensors in an autonomous setting.

GAME DESIGN & WEB DESIGN

The basis of this camp is Coding! Kids love to code because they love to use their inner techie to express and create. The Game Design session will focus on building programming concepts and skills using a visual programming platform. The game design session will allow kids to understand the objectives for all programming which includes creating variables, using if-then and if-else statements, terminology, and other commands. The final project will consist of a unique game design that includes multiple characters and scenes. The Web Design session will focus on the programming language HTML. Kids will use many of the concepts learned during the games design session and build upon those skills as they experience authentic coding. The learning points include tags, styling, links, adding video and photos, terminology, and more. The final project will consist of a personal website for each student in which they have designed and programmed from the ground up.
