Tech Camp is a co-ed summer day camp for children ages 8-13, which runs from June to August in the Cleveland and Akron area. Locations and dates are at the bottom of this page.
Children learn three technologies at camp: Video Game Design, Stop Motion Animation, and LEGO NXT Robotics. Children can pick any or all of them to learn.
Campers work on projects and develop their technology skills. In LEGO NXT Robotics, students build and program a robotic car with motors, gears, and sensors. In Stop Motion Animation, students produce claymation-style movies with sound effects, green screen technology, and their own voices. In Video Game Design, students design their own video games that can play on Windows computers. Students are able to take home their movies and video games on a USB drive provided at camp. During project time, campers are working with counselors and fellow campers to build their robots, design video games, and produce movies. On our last day of camp, Friday, we show off our work and awards are given to everyone.
Children will also spend time outside, pending weather. Campers and counselors play games during snack breaks, which are taken every 1.5 hours of camp.
