Day 5: One Last Post

Ben, Sam, and I hope your child enjoyed our Lego+Minecraft camp.  It was a great opportunity for us to spend extended time on fun projects that we just don't have the time to do during the regular school year when we meet for 35 minutes per week.

It is our hope to provide more technology camps in the future.  Ideas for camps include game design/programming, movie making (shooting, editing, publishing), stop motion animation, 3D design and printing and perhaps some smartphone application development using MIT's App Inventor.  If you have any suggestions for camps we certainly want to hear them.  You can leave comments on this post or email me at mark.richardson@ih.k12.oh.us.

We finished the camp almost a week ago and I have finally found some time to upload the final set of videos.

Genetic Awesomeness Cargo Challenge

Minecrafters Cargo Challenge

Boss Brainiacs and the Orchard Challenge

And finally the excitement of Minecraft.  Harry recorded a video of the class Minecraft session on Thursday.  The video was a little too close to the screen so the picture was blurry but I have included a few minutes of audio so you can hear how excited everyone is.
