TECH & DESIGN EXPLORATION: STORYTELLING
In this introductory tech camp, campers will practice visual storytelling as they explore a variety of STEM technology
GRADES 2-4 (Fall 2022)
PREREQUISITE Basic keyboard skills and ability to use a mouse are recommended
LEVEL Beginner–Intermediate
Unlock your creative potential in this STEM introductory program!
This includes 3D Sculpting & Printing, Digital Animation, 3D Architecture, and Coding Fundamentals through Scratch. Throughout the week, campers can choose to dig deeper or continue to experiment as they create several small projects, such as a digitally-animated movie, a 3D print of an original creature, or walk-through videos of their architecture design — all of which they can take home. Add a second week of camp and experience the engineering design process by revisiting your projects and improving your designs!.
Combine this camp with our Tech & Design Exploration: Space camp to further expand your STEM knowledge.

A Typical Day at Camp
The flow of a typical week at our award-winning summer camps is awesomely diverse and packed with big fun.
On the first day of camp, campers engage in some initial, getting-to-know-you activities and circle-up time with instructors. Our 8:1 student-teacher ratio ensures that kids get the appropriate welcome and attention in order to feel comfortable and confident in our camp environment. They’ll get acquainted with guidelines and safety measures, watch tech demonstrations, and be introduced to a wide range of tech options for exploration.
After exploring the project options on their particular tech path, and with encouragement from our talented, knowledgeable staff, campers will dive into subjects that spark their interest and begin to realize their passion and emerging skills.
We incorporate outside activities and break times (including lunch, of course) throughout the day to balance the time spent in front of computer screens. Depending on our location, campers will walk to a park, work off some energy on a playground, or get involved with a game.
By mid-week, campers will either be focusing on a specific tech path—to tackle larger, more sophisticated projects—or continuing to explore the creative options available on their individual tech paths. Kids can also collaborate, learn from friends, and share ideas with each other.
At week’s end, our rock star campers will show off their projects to the community and parents, and get continued access to their project or game files to keep the BIG FUN going long after their camp experience is over!
