Affordable Computer Technology Camps
BOTHELL, WA
Middle school students in King and Pierce Counties have the opportunity
to spend a week learning Web design, digital photography, or graphic design
for just $50 per week through TechCamps Northwest, a program of the Puget
Sound Center for Teaching, Learning and Technology (PSCTL).
This grant-funded program, sponsored by the Office of the Superintendent
for Public Instruction, targets youth that are statistically under-represented
in the high-tech industry, including girls, minorities and low-income youth.
Using curriculum developed by Giant Campus, these fun, interactive courses
are being offered throughout the summer in state-of-the-art computer labs
at the Puget Sound Center in Bothell, the University of Washington Tacoma,
Clover Park Technical College in Lakewood, and the Fife, Bethel, and Edmonds
School Districts.
TechCamps run from 9 AM to 3 PM and lunch is provided.
Space is still available in some camps. For more information about classes,
locations, and dates, visit the Web site at www.psctlt.org/Past_Projects/techcamps or
