“I'm a techie! I learned how to program a computer.” This declaration from one of our students after just two days at TECHie Camp! This is what TECH CORPS’ newest program TECHie Camp is all about. Educating, Exciting and Empowering students with technology!

TECHie Camp is a full day, week long summer program designed to engage rising 3rd – 5th and 6th – 8th grade students in hands-on, interactive activities focused on Robotics, Web Development, Programming, Gaming and Android App Development.

TECHie Camp puts students in the role of creating and designing with technology--not just using and consuming it. The overarching goal of TECHie Camp is to engage students in activities that can stimulate a deeper interest in and understanding of technology; as well as provide opportunities for them to express their creativity.

“My kids attended TECHie Camp last year and they had a blast! It was the most engaging summer program they have ever attended,” J. Pierre-Louis, TECHie Camp Parent, 2009.

TECH CORPS has partnered with K-12 schools, nonprofit organizations and unversities to offer TECHie Camp in Columbus and around Ohio between June 7, 2010 and August 20, 2010. For additional information and to register visit www.techiecamp.org.

Thanks to the generosity of local sponsors, TECH CORPS will be offering a limited number of partial and full scholarships.

TECHie Camp is a program of TECH CORPS, a nonprofit organization connecting technology, learning and the community to ensure all K-12 students have equal access to the technology programs, skills and resources necessary to enrich their education today and to prepare them to successfully compete in the information-based, technology-driven marketplace tomorrow. www.techcorpsohio.org
