Camps for Curious Minds’ Tech Camps are going virtual! Get ready for hands-on experiences this summer from the comfort of your home. Each day features different activities to help your camper gain tech and programming skills, as well as ways to connect with other campers in this digital format. Group sizes are kept small and led virtually by two educators so that these at-home experiences are interactive and engaging. Virtual Tech Camps also include an at-home supply kit to ensure your camper has all the materials they need!
