Tech Bootcamps
Tech Bootcamps
If you're interested in being one of your classroom's go-to techies, consider joining one of our Tech Bootcamps. For 3 days, you'll come to the library either before school or during lunch recess to spend time learning the ins and outs of one of our tech tools. You'll leave knowing that you can help your classmates and yourself create better projects that show what you know.
Bootcamps are offered for students in grades 1st-5th and are limited to 16 students. Students can sign up for as many sessions as they would like. They will be chosen by raffle.
Registration closes August 30th.

Looking to spend a bit more time on your favorite STEAM Tools? Join one of our STEAM Clubs. Tools, teachers, and dates coming soon for the winter and spring.
Keynote: This is more than a presentation tool for slide shows. Students can animate and draw their own work, even turning their learning into a simple movie. This is the foundation for all they will do this school year in technology. In fact, most of the later Bootcamps will use Keynote as a basis for creation.
