Welcome to Camp! Take a look at what we did today
Announcements: The Week At A Glance
Today we practiced pitching for this afternoon! Each team was given time to refine their iMovie commercial before the official viewings at Pitch Day. The commercial is a fun way for the students to express themselves using what they’ve learned throughout the week, and introduce customers to their awesome products. Students then worked on finishing their poster boards and their slide shows. Lastly, all of the teams got out their prototypes and made sure they were in tip-top shape for pitches. With these three parts in tow, we were ready to pitch for the day! It was incredible to see the difference from day one to today! Everyone’s confidence blew away our staff. We are so proud of everyone for being so willing to pitch their idea. We are also very proud of all of our students for expanding their minds and learning all about the wonders of entrepreneurship this week. We saw creativity, innovation, and true inspiration. We cannot wait to see all of what these students will accomplish!

Fun Friday: 6/15-6/20 Maker Are your children constantly creating things and wanting to know more about the latest and greatest gadget? This is the course for a gadget hungry student. Maker is a course dedicated to learning the creative process with some of the newest technology available. Each class is different, but students will learn with tools ranging from 3D printers to electronics, and a lot in between! Unlike traditional STEM programs, our maker child technology program goes above and beyond, teaching students how to apply the technology in an entrepreneurial way. Our students thrive in this fun and hands-on experience. We are counting down the hours until next Monday and our teachers would love to welcome your child in this tinkering treat of a class!
