Tech Cats Computer Programming Camp Session 1
TC3 Kids is a week-long introduction to computer programming and robotics for rising 3rd rising 8th grade students. Kids will learn the basics of computer programming, computer science and robotics through fun, collaborative and creative activities. The goal is to enhance their critical thinking and problem-solving skills and to engage their interest in the relevance of technology in their future academic and career plans. Campers will also get some outside recreation to show the necessity for balance within our highly technical society. No experience with computer programming or computer science is necessary! All levels welcome! NEW! This year we are partnering with Vector Space! We will be spending 1-2 days learning about various computer related technologies.
Vector Space is a makerspace and community workshop with the mission to build an open and collaborative community that fosters innovation, creativity, and the pursuit of science based knowledge.
