Engineering Summer Camps - Camp BYOC (Build Your Own Computer)

Engineering Camps

Take your learning experience of computer technology to a deeper level. A series of 1-week sessions designed to take the student on a journey through the world of technology. The journey starts at the basics and progresses to more advanced technologies. The student has the option to build a new computer that they keep. Students learn to code and understand the history, current and future trends in technology.

Associates and Seniors are returning students who go deeper into coding, robotics, and circuitry.

Below are the dates and times of all the sessions. You can register using the Sign Up link here or from the Register menu item.

Registration ends at the end of May 2021.

Classes are Monday - Thursday - 9am to 5pm, Friday 9am - 4pm
