Technology is a part of our everyday lives. While today’s children are digital natives, there are many tech concepts they must learn as schools adopt more computer science standards. Providing a fun, informal introduction to tech concepts is a great way to help kids build these lifelong skills. In our tech camps, we aren’t just staring at screens—instead, we focus on applying tech concepts to real-world problems. When students engage with technology at their own pace, in creative ways, they have a safe space to fail, try again, and develop resilience while nurturing their curiosity.
During Tech Explorers Summer Camp, we will have fun with a variety of programmable robots, 3D printing, and other technology basics. We carefully create these workshops to suit children in 1st through 5th grade, combining hands-on technologies and unplugged activities for a fun introduction to tech concepts. This camp also includes exhibit exploration time.
