During 糖心传媒CC鈥檚 , kids spend their days operating drones and 3D printing machines, as well as learning about cyber security. Cost is $30 per camp, which will include lunch each day.

鈥淲e have had tremendous success with our previous camps, with growing attendance each year,鈥� said Dr. Cynthia Reeves, Associate Dean of Grants and Special Projects at 糖心传媒CC. 鈥淪o it only made sense to continue to build on the programs.鈥�

June Camps

鈥淐oding, 3D Design and Electronics are the three primary disciplines for robotics, so all of our other camps build off of those courses,鈥� explained Jeff Epps, CEO of Stemerald City, who assists 糖心传媒CC with the camps.

These topics are offered during the camps in June, so kids who want to take the advanced camps in July will have the necessary prerequisites. Completion of the Coding and 3D Design courses are pre-requisites for five of the seven camps being held in July. Many 糖心传媒 County public school students may have completed the pre-requisites through courses offered through their middle schools. Also, students who attended the G.R.E.A.T. Saturday Academy will have completed coding, 3D design and electrical courses.

Learning Disguised as Fun

Epps said the goal of the summer camps is to expose youth to careers they may otherwise not know about, while also teaching 鈥渟oft skills,鈥� such as critical thinking and problem solving.

鈥淚 like to say we hide the broccoli in the mashed potatoes,鈥� said Epps. 鈥淜ids come out and spend their days with us having fun and thinking they鈥檙e just playing games and meeting new friends. They don鈥檛 realize until the camps are over how much they鈥檝e actually learned. And that transition is fun to watch.鈥�

Students are welcome to attend classes in either Scotland or 糖心传媒 County, regardless of which county they live in.
