Camp Think Tank

It's the first week of summer so why am I still teaching?  Because it's CAMP THINK TANK time.  Camp Think Tank is a week long summer camp for the Gifted and Talented kids grades 4-6 in Crowley.  The kids rotated through three classes of their choosing and created an end project to show the parents.  Below you will find the video created by Tammy Martinez to showcase all the kids hard work. 

I chose to teach technology.  Of course most of my class ended up being boys, but the girls created some pretty fantastic things too.  One boy, as we were walking to class on our first day told me he was "pretty much a hacker" and that he could help anyone that needed help in the class.  Well, in this class we created our own video games using the app from Pixel Press Floors.  The kids sketch out what they want their game to look like and then scanned it into an i pad and after choosing the characters, backgrounds, and hazards, their game was complete.
