Summer Camps


Her First Robot
    After five years of summer camps, we are taking the summer off while we consider the future direction of the GigaDivas program. Last summer the girls designed web pages, built robots that could search mazes, play soccer and explore Mars. They used Stagecast to create games amd manipulated 3-D images with Alice. As always they designed their own camp t-shirts. Check back to see what we will be up to in the future.

In previous summer camps, we taught Karel what to do, designed Stagecast Sims, designed t-shirts and web pages, made movies and built artist robots and maze-running cheese-finding robots! When we had several weeks for camp we toured Guard Insurance, WBRE, Offset paperback,Sallie Mae and the GIS Center at Wilkes (who gave us this neat map of the Wilkes campus).
