Camp Launchpad!
We have successfully wrapped up our first 4-week session of camp! Our second full 4-week session starts TODAY.
We are SO grateful to the volunteers and mentors for helping to ensure our campers were safe, learning, and having fun!
Some highlights include:
-Countless cheers when kids shout, "I DID A THING!" when they did something challenging;
-Booked out for both 3D Printing weeks;
-Using Python to code: their favorite restaurants and their Raspberry Pi Picos for their cars;
-A broken, then fixed, then broken, then finally actually fixed A/C in summer...in Texas...
-"Touching grass" twice a day at the nearby park and playground;
-Laser-cutting track gates with punny company names;
-Pop-A-Shot battles with a camper's grandma as MVP!
-Hilarious and heartwarming short movies filmed and edited by campers. life at Launchpad through the eyes of Winnie (Shirin's dog and our un/official mascot);
-So many parent texts, phone calls, and dropped jaws after seeing what their kiddos accomplished;
-Campers begging parents "can I stay later?" and "can I come back?" and so much more...
I'll update y'all on all the details from both camps -- including more pictures and videos, and future camp and workshop details-- once we've wrapped up the second session of Camp Launchpad in mid-August!
