Digimakers

Grades 6-8

June 2-5 - Monday-Thursday, 9:00 am-12:00 pm

DigiMakers is an engaging, four-day hands-on experience for students in grades 6-8, designed to introduce the exciting world of embedded digital systems through fun and practical projects. Campers will learn to program the Arduino microcontroller and interface it with components like motors, relays, lights, and switches. They will turn their ideas into interactive creations. Along the way, they’ll explore the fundamentals of digital electronics and coding, building confidence in both their technical and creative skills by tackling challenges and designing their own solutions.

Through guided projects, students will gain a solid foundation in circuit building and learn the roles of essential components like resistors, LEDs, and switches. They’ll discover how a microcontroller acts as the brain of an embedded system and gain hands-on experience writing code for a microcontroller to control outputs such as motors and lights while responding to inputs from sensors and buttons. Campers will explore how to sense environmental changes—whether it’s detecting light, magnetic fields, or movement from a person or animal—and use these inputs to trigger actions like lighting an LED, activating a motor, or controlling a relay.

The camp ends with a Final Showcase, where students will present a project they designed and built themselves. Examples include a blinking light show, an interactive game, or a new twist on the fidget spinner. Students will leave the camp with a deeper understanding of microcontrollers and circuits, along with the confidence to continue experimenting with this technology on their own.

Materials and Chromebooks are provided.

This week we will visit some local gardens, farms and restaurants to learn about growing, harvesting, and preparing delicious locally-grown food. We will also be cooking and feasting on our own creations from local products in the Seabury culinary kitchen. If you have an interest in farming, gardening, and cooking in healthy and sustainable ways this is the camp for you. Gardening gloves and aprons provided :)

Game On!

Grades 6-8

July 7-10 - Monday-Thursday, 1:00-3:00 pm

Game On! is an exciting introduction to basic game design using the user-friendly, web-based game engine Construct 3. Designed for middle school students, this hands-on camp teaches participants how to create their own simple 2D games while introducing them to fundamental coding concepts in a fun and engaging way. Campers will explore essential game design elements, such as understanding sprites, making characters move, creating backgrounds and tiled environments, and using events and actions to bring their games to life. They’ll also learn about variables and data structures, gaining insight into how they control game mechanics and behavior.

Throughout the camp, students will build their games step by step, combining their creativity with logical problem-solving. Whether they design a platformer, a shoot 'em up, a puzzle game, or a side-scroller, every camper will have the chance to craft a unique and playable experience. The program concludes with an exciting Final Showcase where students will present and play each other’s games, celebrating their hard work and creativity. By the end of Game On!, campers will not only have a completed game to share but also a foundational understanding of procedural coding and what it means to think like a programmer—equipping them with skills they can continue to build on in future tech adventures.

Everyone is welcome to share, but no one will be required to! On the last day we will have an actual real poetry reading--to each other!

Melissa Fite Johnson's poems have appeared in journals such as Ploughshares, Whale Road Review, and Pleiades, and she’s the author of three poetry books. She is a two-time Kansas Notable Books award recipient and a poetry editor for The Weight, a journal for high school students, and Porcupine Lit, a journal for and by teachers.
