For
children who are new to Kids on the Net, this is the camp to get you started!
It is a two week program, in which half of the time is spent in the computer
lab learning about computers and the internet, and the other half of the
time is spent doing projects in Science and introductory robotics! A great
time will be had by all, at this groovy beginner camp!!
Dates for summer 2000:
July 3-14, 2000 - Iqaluit, NT
Cost: $50.00
per week
For those
of you who have already done an Introductory camp, Advanced camp is the
next step! This is a one week program, usually immediately following the
Introductory camp, for those who wish to continue in the Kids on the Net
program. Again, half the time is spent with computers working on advanced
web page design, among other things, and the other half of the time is
spent on Sciecne and technology projects, such as robotics, tearing apart
computers, individual and team projects, such as building boats out of
cardboard and duct tape - they have to hold 2 people (!) - and then racing
them at the swimming pool!
Dates for Summer 1999:
July 31- Aug. 4, 2000 - Iqaluit, NT
Cost: $50.00
per week
This
is a new camp that we are working for summer 2000! For kids who've done
Introductory and Advanced camps, we had to find something for YOU to do
in the summer! So Einstein Camp is in the development stage, and will hopefully
cover some HTML, Rube Goldberg devices, and other advanced engineering
projects.
Pending Summer 2000...

Hey,
girls are just as good at science as guys - if not better! So, we
are offering an all-girls camp this summer to get all those gals out there
who want to be engineers and scientists, started on the right foot. This
program is virtually identical to the Introductory camp, with an all female
environment.
Dates:
July 17-28, 2000 - Iqaluit, NT
