Summer Learning - POWER Camp - Use of Technology:
Our goal is to provide meaningful and engaging lessons that help student learn the basics of coding, develop skills and interest in computer science, strengthen foundations in computational thinking,
build digital confidence through play, programing and hands-on learning experiences introduced at the elementary level. Our custom-designed lessons, students explore how computers work, how devices communicate across networks, and how to protect systems from threats.
Highlights include:
- Understanding computer components and network communication
- Learning to defend against cyber threats in a simulated environment
- Playing the Cyber Threat Protector game developed by UTSA’s Center for Infrastructure Assurance & Security
- Writing their first line of code — “Hello, World!” — in Python and JavaScript
- Exploring devices like laptops, micro:bits, and Raspberry Pi3 using the Linux Debian OS
Our student lessons sparks curiosity, builds foundational tech skills, and empowers students to become confident digital citizens.
