Tech Camp: Giving students a hands-on, head start with technology.
  Tech Camp
Picture
Tech Camp is a summer day camp experience designed for school age students to expose them to the world of affordable technology. 
​Inspired by the Advanced Placement Computer Science Principles course, this year’s Tech Camp will teach students basic coding using the App Inventor 2 programming language. This language allows students to learn coding logic without having to worry about syntax (the formatting required of more formal languages like JAVA, C++, etc.) thus removing unnecessary frustration when learning to code. Students will code on a computer workstation and watch their creations come alive on a smartphone!

All equipment required for camp will be provided this year, which includes the use of a computer and a smartphone. These items will be made available for campers during the camp week, and will remain with camp staff at the conclusion of camp. All coding is done via web browser, allowing students to continue to tinker with their code at the conclusion of camp. Parents who wish to provide their camper with a compatible smartphone after camp has concluded will be made aware of purchase options. Devices typically cost approximately $40.00 and are widely available at retailers like Wal-Mart.

Camp will be held at the Northeastern High School Library (300 High Street, Manchester, PA) and will run from 1:00p.m. to 4:00p.m. from Monday, July 24 through Thursday, July 27. The cost of camp is $95.00 and is open to students who have completed 4th grade through 7th grade.
