With support from the Nordson Corporation Foundation, TECH CORPS will implement its Techie Camp program in partnership with the DeKalb County Public Library for elementary and middle school students during the summer.

Techie Camp is a full-day, week-long program designed to engage elementary (ES) and middle school (MS) students in hands-on, interactive STEM-related activities. Students take a deep dive into subject matter focused on Robotics, Programming, Android App Development, or Digital Animation and emerge with skills that are useful in today’s classroom and tomorrow's workplace. The Techie Camp experience will conclude with students presenting their final project to their parents and peers on Friday afternoons. Below are additional notes about the Techie Camps:
