Here is what we did this summer!

Summer 2025 took us all on some awesome adventures. We had many guests throughout the week that came to share their expertise with us. Here is just a brief overview of what we did:

• 3D Printing started our camp when Russ Clark taught students how 3D printers work and how to design their own 3D prints. Mitch Lesslie visited us from Turn Key Technologies and showed the students how 3D modeling could be applied to the creation of various new machinery builds.
• On Tuesdays we took on the role of entrepreneurs We researched our community's needs vs wants, and created a business around that research.​ Our volunteers Beth Woodson of Design Chic/Vogue Cleaners and Cedric Cuthbertson from CAC Plumbing gave the students some valuable insight on what it was like to get their own businesses up and running.
• Robert Howell, our Director taught the students how to dig into their computers and identify components. Blake Shoaf of F&M Bank’s IT Department came in to talk to students about networking, remote management, security and more. He also showed students how to repair gaming controllers.
• BrickEd offered a fantastic field trip location with their different stations and STEAM topics. Students were able to code with robots, do lego challenges and put their teamwork to the test with a robot competition. One of our own students even volunteered to teach students how to code their own games using block coding.
• Students that attended our first week went on a field trip to MicroCenter where they were able to go on a scavenger hunt throughout the store and play with the racing simulators.
• All Middle and High Schoolers that attended Summer Camp were able to go to E2D where they were shown how to take apart laptops to pull the useable components out. Then they were able to start at step 1 and learn how E2D refurbishes their computers from start to finish. This was a great experience for students to get hands on with more tech. The week was wrapped up with a well deserved treat.
