Mathson Institute of Technology Summer Technology Camp

Objective

Provide an opportunity for MIT students to

engage in Cross-Curricular Project Based

Learning to foster their abilities to be

technology developers rather than consumers.

Thereby bridging the gap that exists digitally

for our students and community.

Project Based Learning (PBL)

3D Modeling• Students designed solutions to address the drought and

explored ideas for future computers

• Troubleshooting• Students learned about the inner workings of computers and

how components go together

• Web Design• Students created their own web pages showcasing cross-

curricular projects

• Coding• Students learned the basics of computer programming

and created their own mobile game application

I'm interested in technology because in technology, there's endless possibilities. I like the fact that I can do almost anything I want, just with knowledge and skill.

Alvin Vo, 8th Grade

Technology is fun because you can create your own ideas using your imagination. Also you can learn a whole different language which is html. NOW that is cool because you can be typing and people might not understand what you are typing about because it is a different code/language. Technology is also very cool because you can build stuff with just working with simple things. TECHNOLOGY IS FUN.

Student Take Aways

The program has shown me how a computer is similar to the human brain. For example, a computer can create a 3D object just like our minds.

Ethan Le, 8th grade

It increased my interest by teaching me about the computer components by taking apart a desktop and a laptop. I learned about the school's internet and how it works. I also learned how to install a new printer and about the motherboard.
