This camp is designed to build the following character traits:

Resilience: When young kids learn to code, they become problem solvers and develop critical thinking. With any problem solving, children have to stay with the problem long enough to find meaning solutions. Coding develops a child's ability to develop perseverance and resilience as they create fun projects
Creativity: Code-it Hacks Inquiry and play-based summer camps ensures that technology is used towards solving a real-life problem that is out of the box. Each camp demands students to engage in fun group-based activities to develop creative solutions all while having a blast with crafts and technology

Are you fashion Savvy? Is your fashion sense unique and different from others? If yes, then this the camp that will give you new skills to take your fashion sense to next level. Enter the world of e-textiles. Explore integrating fashion with technology.
