Discovering technology, engineering at camp

For the past three years, CodeREV Kids, a summer camp dedicated to teaching youth about coding and other technology fields, has grown to more than 10 locations. The CodeREV Kids curriculum, developed with the help of professors at Stanford, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard, is project based so students are able to engage with the lessons and explore their own creativity, Curran said. Campers are able to take home their work via email or Google Drive to share with family and friends or continue working on projects at home. CodeREV Kids was founded by Evan Boorman, a STEM teacher with more than 14 years of experience teaching students who both excel and struggle with STEM concepts. In addition to classroom work, campers will spend some of the day outdoors participating in games designed to exercise the body and mind while building social-emotional skills. Games include reverse tag, obstacle courses, capture the flag and freeze dance. Staff and instructors are experts in the fields they are teaching and Curran said many of them lead spring break and after school classes so they are equipped to teach tech concepts to children using easily digestible but relevant curriculum.
