TechKnowHow offers a unique, custom-designed curriculum with new projects each year, delivered by experienced teachers in small groups, fostering valuable real-world STEM skills.
TechKnowHow Kids offers engaging technology and engineering summer camps where children actively participate in hands-on projects, fostering creativity and critical thinking. Campers delve into the fundamentals of LEGO engineering, constructing motorized creations and exploring mechanical marvels with gears, pistons, and sensors. Through various coding programs like Scratch, students learn programming logic, design interactive games, and develop essential problem-solving skills. Specialized camps focus on game design, allowing participants to create immersive 3D worlds and modify popular games like Minecraft and Roblox, using tools such as structure blocks, redstone, and Lua scripting. Robotics programs involve building and programming LEGO EV3 robots to perform tasks, engage in arena contests, and respond to commands. Students gain confidence in applying STEM concepts to real-world challenges, culminating in the creation of their own unique projects and games in a supportive and fun learning environment.
A typical day involves engaging in hands-on technology and engineering projects, with dedicated time for coding, building, and game design. Students also enjoy two 20-minute recess breaks and a half-hour lunch recess for outdoor recreation.
Ideal for students with a strong interest in technology and engineering, eager to explore coding, robotics, and game design through hands-on projects, regardless of prior experience.
