Grades 4–7. This spring the Fleet Science Center and ThoughtSTEM have come together to present a week of camp that brings computer science and coding to life. Each day campers will learn how to create a new technology, such as designing their own light up electrical circuits to embed into origami, paper airplanes, gift cards, and even clothes. Campers will also create their own virtual worlds, Android mobile apps and Minecraft mods to play with friends when they get back to school. Each course puts campers on the way to becoming a true Tech Genius.
