Camp Information

Techademy aims to show students of all ages that Information Technology is fun and interesting. Students will have the opportunity to learn about many topics by participating in hands-on activities, learn new concepts, acquire new skills, and build a strong foundation in IT. Every Friday we have a pizza party for students and their families to share what they have learned that week!
