RTSD Offering Computer Coding, Programming, Virtual Reality Camp For Kids This Summer​

The Radnor Township School District is inviting students to participate in a camp this summer where they will learn computer programming, design, coding, and more.

The first STEAM in the Summer will be held Monday, July 17 through Thursday, July 20 at the Radnor Middle School, Room 131.

"Students will start each day with an engineering design challenge followed by instruction and exploration of new technologies," the district said. "Students will learn basic computer programming using Blockly and a variety of programmable robots; experiment with augmented and virtual reality, building their own Virtual Reality goggles; and design their own Breakout box game using Google tools."

The district said attendees will come out of the camp with a foundation for coding, computer science and programming, the use of augmented and virtual reality, and the process of gamification.

Each day will have two sessions, one from 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. and the other from 12:30 p.m. 3:30 p.m.

However, the morning session is full and registrants looking to attend that session will be placed on a wait list.

Registration ends April 7.

The cost is $150 per student, with payment due by April 28.

If payment is not received by April 28, reservations will be cancelled and the spot will be offered to the next person on the waiting list.

Checks can be made payable to Radnor Township School District with the student's name and "STEAM Camp" written in the memo line and be sent to Beth Zigmont at Radnor Middle School, 150 Louella Ave., Wayne, PA 19087.

Head over to the district's website to register your student now as space is limited.
