Summer Coding Camp
The Triad technology team is having youth summer camps for students in grades 1-7. The camps will run Monday June 10- Thursday June 13 at Silver Creek Elementary in Troy. The format of the programs is "make and take"-meaning students will have the opportunity to learn about programming with a fun, engaging tool, and then at the end of the week, they will get to take the device with them! Our hope is that students will be excited about their new resource and will continue to learn more about it throughout the summer.
They will offer two sessions. The A.M. session will run from 9:00-12:00, and the P.M. session will be from 12:30-3:30. If any students wishes to stay for both sessions, there will be a supervised lunch break from 12:00-12:30, however, no lunch will be provided and students planning to eat should pack a sack lunch for this time.
There are four elementary camp offerings- Sphero, Makey Makey, Ozobot, and Bloxels, and one middle school offering- Circuit Playground. The cost per session is $125 which includes the cost of the device students take home at the end of the week. Registration is available online at bit.ly/triadcodecamp and will remain open until Sunday, May 25 or until sessions reach a max participant level of 20 students.
