I Wanna Be… A Techie!

For Students Entering Kindergarten + 1st Grade, Fall 2022

tech·ie
/’tekē/
noun, informal
a person who is expert in or enthusiastic about technology, especially computing.
“Techies” are an important part of today’s technologically driven society. From the high school student who performs diagnostic tests on your fried computer to the entrepreneur-in-the-making who tinkers with electronics in the family garage, techies are here to stay and are a growing influence in our everyday lives. During this exciting camp kids are exposed to popular techie topics including coding, robotics, and electronics. The camp week ramps up with the programming of tablets using ScratchJr, then switches gears to building simple circuits. Along the way kids study the anatomy of computers, code a caterpillar (yes!), and finally wrap-up the week with a peek into the future of technology. Ultimately, being a “techie” at Launch camp means a whole lot of fun!

Optional Program Extension Until 3:30 PM: MATH MANIA!
Topic of the Week: Space Voyages (see Sample Camp Day below for more details)
