    TECH FUN: This summer students will be able to explore Scratch, an interactive programming language created by MIT. We plan to create animations, computer games and interactive projects while thinking creatively, working collaboratively, and reasoning systematically. Of course we will review Internet safety, the basics of Google slides and practice our typing skills. Also, children will be encouraged to use the interactive whiteboard, try coding various robots, and even design and create one of a kind t-shirts. On Fridays, children will be introduced to educational online games. It’s always air conditioned, relaxed and fun in the lab!
