In this two day electronic engineering camp, we'll use a micro:bit go to build and program a microcomputer. The micro:bit go comes with a 5x5 LED matrix, a 3-axis digital accelerometer that can be used to control games, two programmable buttons, and a built in electromagnetic compass. This camp is for STEM enthusiasts of all ability and knowledge levels. You'll learn the basics of electronic engineering and go home with your very own micro computer that can be rebuilt, re-engineered, and reprogrammed.

Participants in this camp will have in-depth experiences with MinecraftEdu, Linux Lubuntu Operating System, Programming/Coding, Microcontrollers, Geocaching, and the ability to explore a topic of their own (3D design/printing, Drones, Rockets, Legos, K'Nex, Ozobots, Role-playing games, movie production/green screening, etc.) during our daily Genius Hour. Students will receive an official Raspberry Pi beginner kit at the end of the experience.

STEM is an acronym for Science, Techology, Engineering and Math education. By combining these important topics, students will utilize their problem solving and critical thinking skills helping to prepare for their future. At Kids for IT, we will explore all aspects of STEM while "playing". Students will explore water bottle rockets, K'Nex sail cars, drones, robots and circuitry. Students will also dabble in computer programming (through building their own app) and computer networking (by building a LAN and playing MinecraftEdu on it).

While experincing this exciting, activity-driven week, students will gain real world skills that cannot only survive an onslaught of zombies but will give insights into the world of technical careers. Age appropriate, (non-scary) hands-on activities, simulations, and interactivities will ensure a rewarding educational experience and lots of fun!
