North Campus: June 9-10 • 9 a.m.-4 p.m. • Grades 7-8
East Campus: June 11-12 • 9 a.m.-4 p.m. • Grades 7-8
Students will learn the internal components that make a computer work by building their own systems. After their build, they will be taught about configuring and setting up their system at home.
The goal of this camp is to introduce them to the IT industry during a time that is vital in choosing their CTE direction, as well as achieving the goal of a complete build-that earns them a usable computer at their home.
Campers will keep their computers, keyboards and mice once built, and take them home the last day of camp.
