Power Mac Center x Galileo Digital Summer Camp

     Summer vacation is just around the corner. For hands-on moms like me, it's a relief that finally my son will not be forced to wake up early in the morning (but he needs to) and prepare for school. No more homework and projects for the next three months too! Indeed, it's summer vacation and time to engage kids in educational activities that will make this vacation fun and full of learning.

     Sports clinics and music workshops are the usual activities that parents choose for their kids during summer vacation. I presume that moms and dads out there want their kids to learn to play basketball, volleyball, and other sports. On the other hand, if your child is a music lover there will be a big chance that you'll enroll him or her in a music workshop. Did you know that there's a new and exciting camp for the techie kids out there? Learn more about Power Mac Center x Galileo Digital Summer Camp after the jump!

     During the launch, invited bloggers were introduced to three of the modules mentioned above. We had a glimpse of Robotics Programming, Stop Motion Video Creation, and Game Creation. It's a fun experience and I really enjoyed the walk through in each modules.

     Power Mac Center and Galileo also treated our kids to a whole day of learning and fun. I saw how kids enjoyed from the first modules up to last, their energy lasted from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Kenzo and his cousin Chlowie joined the last two modules though.

     I'm inviting all the parents and kids to enjoy summer the techie way. Enroll your kids in Digital Summer Camp and see them do amazing stuff while using their gadgets. Not only will the kids learn the basics of coding and programming, but they will also be able to use and integrate their subjects in school like Math and English during their workshop.
