Video game design, animation, LEGO robotics, and digital movies are just some of the possibilities for kids in grades 2-8 at Children's Technology Workshop's icamp. Each child creates his or her own experience by choosing an Adventure theme, such as Mission to Mars, Medieval, Fashion Design, or Music Mogul, to develop a story. Then they combine technology applications to make their vision a reality. Every child works on their own projects and laptops, letting them create their own experience working with the stories and technologies that interest them most.

Our trained instructors guide all campers in projects that suit their age, interests, and skill level to ensure a fun and rewarding experience for everyone. We break throughout the day for group and outdoor activities. The week ends with the Friday Showcase of final projects played for parents, and campers take their digital projects home to enjoy and share.

Since 1999 over 130,000 students worldwide have immersed in hands-on learning to create iPhone apps, programs with C++ and Java, video games, websites, movies, 3D models, ad designs, robots, films, and photos.
