Technology was the word for Sea Tech campers this week.

Throughout the week, campers simulated a mapping and recovery mission to track down a “missing research robot.” The camp focused on multimedia technology, mapping and engineering skills.

On July 28, campers had a free afternoon and tested out technology of their choosing.

Some campers made a Stopmotion video and used Lego pieces to simulate a film, others raced Lego Mindstorms around the room and others used the Finch Robot, which teaches computer science.
