Registration is open right now for free summer camps at Apple Stores. These camps fill up quickly so do not delay in registering. You’ll find Apple Stores at Crabtree Valley Mall in Raleigh and at the Streets of Southpoint in Durham. The camps this year are “Coding Games and Programming Robots,” “Stories in Motion with iMovie,” and “Interactive Storytelling with iBooks.” The camps are for kids age 8-12. They are FREE to attend but space is limited. Even though I JUST got the email saying registration was open, many are already filled up. The camps each run for three days, for an hour and a half each day. There are four weeks to choose from for each camp. Register now.
Coding Games and Programming Robots
Who wouldn’t want to create their own games and program their own robots? Kids will learn visual block-based coding for games, applying logic skills such as pattern recognition and problem solving. Then they’ll use what they’ve learned to program their own robots to perform tasks, challenges, and much more.
Stories in Motion with iMovie
Campers will learn everything they need to create their own movies. They’ll storyboard ideas, shoot video, and delve into other aspects of the filmmaking process. Then they’ll edit their new epics in iMovie on a Mac.
Interactive Storytelling with iBooks
Campers will create their own interactive books and learn about the elements of writing a story, from idea to storyboarding. They’ll draw illustrations using an iPad, then add sound effects and Multi-Touch features using iBooks Author on a Mac.
