Use Your Imagination

Ozobots, Arduino's and Raspberry Pi's are powerful tools  
to feed your creative side! 

There are gobs of resources online to help you decide on a project to build!! We've pulled together a few ideas to help you decide: 


Arduino                           Raspberry Pi                           Ozobots



If you don't have an idea, just chat with a Camp Leader!

You Can Do It!



 Computer Science is awesome and an indispensable
part of a 21st century education!!

CS is about thinking how best to solve a 
challenging problem and having the 
imagination to see the world differently!

 CS provides the opportunity to create something brand new and to develop the ability to attack difficult problems in a variety of fields — from astronomy to psychology to biology to economics and even to literature.

Excellent Day




Lots of 100 degree days comin' up!

And we'll keep getting hotter with Raspberry Pi's, Python, and then Arduino using C-based programming!!

Interesting Fact



The name "Wednesday" is borrowed from the Latin language, 

dies Mercurii,  or "day of Mercury", 
reflecting the Germanic god Woden (Wodanaz or Odin).

Camp on Monday

It's too quiet around here.... Thank goodness camp starts Monday!

The CS Adventures camp will include builds using Raspberry Pi's, Arduino's, and Ozobots.


The Raspberry Pi module will utilize Python for coding and have as few as 6 sensors for the project build along with LEDs! Campers will integrate motion, temperature, light, sound, and distance sensors on the microprocessor, plus learn how to establish a wireless web environment!


The Arduino module pulls in C programming, and will integrate multiple sensors, LCD screen, a potentiometer, speakers, and LEDs. Campers will explore many projects and hand select a build that matches their interest, creativity, and desired outcome!


Ozobots are tiny smart robots that bring endless creative opportunities and challenges. Campers will use their creativity and artistic expression, while developing logical reasoning and, in turn, actually learning high level coding concepts.

Good times!!
