2026 Summer Camps

"Exposing Young Minds to the Creative Side of Computing"

The College of Computing at Georgia Tech is one of the top five computing schools in the nation. We have been offering innovative, engaging, and educational summer experiences in computing for nearly two decades.

Our summer camps are designed to expose elementary, middle, and high school students to the creative and physical sides of computing. We provide them with structured and open-ended computing experiences that are intended to make computing a part of their expressive and problem-solving toolsets.

Our camps will run for the five weeks that go from the first week of June through Independece Day weekend. Each week, we will offer two high school camps, two middle school camps, and two elementary school camps. Each camp will have a maximum capacity of twenty-four campers and will begin at 9am and end at 3pm.
Experience Creative Computing!

Register For This Camp
Price:
On or Before April 15th = $400
After April 15th = $440
See the world, code the world. Campers use TinkerCAD and OpenSCAD, free online programs, in a bidirectional learning environment. They start by coding primitive 3D shapes like cubes, spheres, and pyramids. By adding and subtracting these primitives, they will quickly learn how to express their ideas by coding more complex creations. These creations will then be brought to life in the real world via 3D printing. At mid-week, learning will be reinforced by reversing the creative process. Campers will be given an object to decompose into its primitive shapes and then replicate its 3D reality with code. This bidirectional learning will allow campers to flex both their constructive and deconstructive creative problem-solving skills.
