School Programs After School Program
A program for schools, serving children in elementary schools.
Students are enrolling in after-school programs in growing numbers. Our classes give students the opportunity to learn and apply technology skills in a fun-filled format.
What technology skills do elementary students need to learn?
Each technology project is offered in a number of sessions. Some are teacher-guided and students can complete a final project; others are student-directed and offer children the opportunity to apply learned skills independently.
The project Say Cheese!©, for instance, combines multimedia, graphics and telecommunications in a project that enables kids to use digital cameras and manipulate images.
Parents see results! We send home a project overview, parent pages, student projects and informational pieces.
Get COMPUTER EXPLORERS® in your school and it benefits your PTA/PTO with up to 10% of the program proceeds!
