What is Kids on Campus?

Cool Projects! Awesome Technology! Two weeks of exciting workshops for middle and HS students. Kids on Campus is all about cutting-edge topics involving computers, science, math, art, and technology. It's a chance to work in small teams, unleash creativity, and develop critical thinking skills.

Who belongs at Kids on Campus?

Kids on Campus is for students who love technology — workshops are specifically designed to capture the interest and imagination of students with high academic potential. Students actively participate in a rigorous, hands-on learning experience, and must be able to work well in a group setting. There should be no behavioral concerns that might negatively impact the group dynamic.

Parents will need to sign the following statement when they register:

“My child performs well in school and there are no behavioral concerns that could impact on his/her ability to participate in a rigorous academic program.”

How does it work?

Kids on Campus offers two repeating sessions during the month of July. Each session is two weeks long and runs from 9 AM to 3 PM, daily, Monday through Friday. Students choose one area to focus on for the two-week session. Workshops are small group, hands-on, project-oriented, and lots of fun.

Workshops have been developed for beginner through advanced learners and are offered at three grade levels: 7-8, 8-10 and 10-12.

Please note: Grade level is determined by what grade you will enter in the fall. Eighth and tenth grade students can cross-register. Students may enroll in more than one session. For more information, go to the Workshop page. To register, go to the Register page and follow the instructions.

A Welcome Packet will be sent to all students at the end of June, and will contain important workshop, arrival, and departure information.
