  • Computer Tech and Coding Primer

    Students entering grades 7 & 8
    June 12 – 16
    9:00 am – 2:00 pm 
    $350

    A primer on what makes our computers and our networks work and how they do so.  We'll see the components of a computer, from the motherboard, CPU, Cooling Fans, RAM, Power Supply, and GPU.  We'll also look at how to set up and configure a Local Network and learn how information travels along that and how we can connect our computers to each other.  IP Addresses, MAC Addresses, Routers and Switches, ports and port forwarding, VLANs, and subnets are some of those topics.  And then we'll play with the Python programming language a little bit and see how we can use it to do some things on our Linux server.  All in all, several interesting bundles of experiences in the technology area.

  • Animation: Bringing Drawings to Life

    Students entering grades 7 & 8
    June 12 – 16
    9:00 am – 2:00 pm 
    $350

    Animators wield the ability to give life to inanimate objects. Static pencil lines leap into existence on the frames of a flipbook. Household items dance across the screen in a stop-motion video. Characters, at first, are simple marks on a page, and when animated, have real hopes, motivations, and dreams. Animators breathe life into their creations. This extraordinary skill allows for experimentation and requires discipline and planning. In a blending of time, rhythm, and artistic skill, animation is one of the most versatile and popular means of communication available worldwide. This one-week summer camp will allow for observational drawing practice, character designs, and experience with animation software.
