Kids Invent! Digital Videos
In this one-week program kids learn how to shoot and edit their own digital video projects. First they learn basic photography and computer editing, with individual projects for each new technique. By the end of the week they will know how to create titles, add sound and video effects, create split screens, and create different types of effects. Kids work individually and in groups to produce six videos, culminating in their own five- to ten-minute movie and a thirty second trailer.

Kids Invent! Robots
Starting with no background in robots, students work in teams to build several electric models before building robots. They design the base and cut it out of wood, add motors, a circuit board and components, and then figure out how to program it. By the end of the week their robots are using sensors and navigating mazes.
