TechTown and Chattanooga Public Library are teaming up to offer a children’s tech camp during spring break, with one track focused on videography, the other on robotics and circuitry.

The camp runs 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., March 30-April 3, on the library’s fourth floor and is limited to 70 participants.

The videography camp will take kids through the entire filmmaking process: story boarding, roles on the set, post-production and special effects. Each camper will make a promotional video, an informational YouTube video and a short film.

In the circuitry unit, campers will learn the basics of inputs, outputs and logic gates with littleBits magnetic circuitry kits. The campers will then move on to using breadboards and programming micro controllers. In the robotics unit, the campers will work with LEGO Mindstorms EV3 kits and learn about sensors and code logic, and they will program autonomous machines. They’ll also be charged with overcoming robotics challenges as a team.
