Summer is coming fast!  My kids give me the countdown daily how many days are actually left until Summer vacation.  Today’s Summer camps are so different from when I was a child.  Yes, there are still Summer camps where you pack up your stuff and go to camp for a week or more.  <\/p>\n

Yet I ended up going to a day Summer camp in the park where we played games, learned crafts, and ate snacks.  It was fun, but it seemed more like a babysitting camp then one where I learned a lot.<\/p>\n

Being in technology, I am fascinated by today’s STEM Summer camps.  STEM refers to Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics.  Giving your kids a chance to explore these areas in a fun learning environment, I believe, is a real gift.  STEM Summer camps can open up a new world to your children, one they likely won’t see at school.<\/p>\n

CodeREV Summer Camps\"CodeRev_LOGO_R1\"<\/a><\/span><\/h2>\n

If you live in the Los Angeles\/Orange County area, CodeREV <\/a>offers children hands-on instruction in one of their 7 locations <\/a>(from Encino down to Solana Beach\/Del Mar).<\/p>\n

Children love apps and video games – CodeREV gives them a chance to create new worlds, people or creatures, and new ways to play.  Employing tech teachers who have worked in the tech field and have a knack for explaining technology in a simple way, CodeRev uses a number of unique approaches to cater to kids’ interests.<\/p>\n

Kids don’t just code all week.  They learn project management and creativity skills like story boarding on white boards and paper.  Kids draw out their ideas and present them to other campers.  As a Summer camp at CodeREV consists of one full week, children manage their time to conceptualize, story board, obtain feedback, learn how to code, code their ideas, and gain continuous feedback as pertinent to the product development process.<\/p>\n

And kids do all of this in one week!  Talk about a jumpstart in understanding coding…and project management!  And the good news is that if a camper wants to take the class again, no two weeks are the same.  They can begin the new class at the same level they left off at and begin learning new concepts.  At the end of each week, campers can take their projects home with them.<\/p>\n

STEM Camps Offered<\/span><\/h2>\n

There are four program tracks students can choose from, each with a variety of classes to choose from.  Tracks include Programming, Creative, Game Design, and Engineering.  Classes<\/a> are offered for kids who are in first grade to 9th grade and for all experience levels.  The hard part is which class to choose(first)!<\/p>\n
