Multi-Modality Tech
Camp – Intermediate/Advanced
Mon-Fri 1-3PM
Students
do not need to have prior programming experience, however, some knowledge of
block-method coding is helpful.
Immerse your child in
a summer of technology. School will look different in the fall - students will
need to be tech competent. Along with fundamental skills like typing and mouse
control, we will incorporate Google Classroom, Zoom, and other remote learning
formats into each session to give students the opportunity to become masters at
these technologies before the fall school session begins.
Each week is focused
on type of technology modality. They will work through skill-appropriate coding
using Scratch, robotics, basics of graphic and web design as well as digital
art such as pixel versus vector art. Each activity will be designed keeping the
beginner level, engaging through games and activities designed to heavily
practice basic tech skills.
Each day will provide
2 hours of live remote instruction.
