If you said they were all
part of projects made by kids at icamp, give yourself partial credit 'cause that one's pretty easy. If you
said they were all part of projects made by kids at last year's February or April break icamps, you get full credit. And if you knew the adventure theme of each
project, you get unlimited bonus points! (For those still stumped on that last
one, they are Gamemaker, Animation Live, Music Mogul, Mission to Mars, and
Rescue.) Registration
is open for 2010 Vacation icamps, and details are below.
We can't wait to see what
new adventures the kids make this year!

Upcoming icamps
|
Kids at icamp create their own experience by choosing from 11
adventure themes -like Mission to Mars, Fashion Designer,
Gamemaker Guru or Animation Alive, to name just a few- to inspire their own
story-based projects. Then they can combine LEGO robotics, video gamemaking,
digital design, movie making, or other technology applications that spark their
interest to bring their story to life. Visit us on on
YouTube to see some cool project examples, or find us on Facebook page to
learn the project back stories and to connect with other parents for discussion and carpooling. For more information about icamp and Children's Technology Workshop,
visit our website at www.ctworkshop.com or call our Boston office at 617-395-7527.
