Digital Video Production:

Become the envy of your friends and family by creating professional looking video clips.  Use a digital camera to shoot video and then edit the clips by adding special effects, transitions and sound.  When your video productions is completed burn them to a CD, e-mail them to a friend or better yet post them on your own web site.  You can learn to do all this and more.  Campers will explore AutoDesk Inventor by creating 3D solid models with animations.  Add to that learning how to create you own web page and you get one fun filled and educational week for campers.  Campers can are also encouraged to sign up for multiple weeks of Digital Video Production.  Repeat campers can create more complex projects each week.  Come on let’s show your friends and family how creative and talented you are.

The Magical World of Electrons:

 Have you ever wondered how all of those electronic devices that surround us every day actually work?  If so we’ve got a camp for you.  It’s not really magic but, most people can’t explain how electronic devices work.  Become one in the know by learning about analog and digital circuits.  That is what powers all those “magical” devices.  Campers will learn to design and construct circuits similar to those found in games, cell phones and many other gadgets.  Each camper will learn how to design and simulate circuits using a computer.  They will also assemble projects using circuit boards, components and soldering irons.  Safety and fun will be stressed in this hands-on camp.
