Summer Camps

Students grades 5-8 will learn some fundamentals of computer science by realizing them in the environment that is already familiar to them. The majority of the camp will not involve looking at a screen as coding is only about 20% of the instruction. Students will take away from this camp a new way of looking at and thinking about the world around them. Students will learn logical problem solving and how to document their problem solving process. Students will learn to look at technology through the eyes of its creator and will even learn to apply this thought process to view the whole of creation through the eyes of The Creator. After developing these skills, they will apply them to create a simple text based computer game.

The stacked creation is then placed inside the kiln to fuse at a series of high temperatures.
