Graphic Design: Grades 7 – 10

This camp takes a hands-on approach to your favorite Nintendo video games. Using the Nintendo Switch’s Labo, we create our own controllers to enhance the fun of the gameplay. We will build basic and complex engineering mechanisms, learn cardboard construction techniques, use real tools, and play video games with our constructions! Class participants are required to wear closed-toed shoes and pull long hair back into a ponytail for safety.

Have you ever wanted to be a hacker? Or wanted to learn how to code? On the Internet these days, it’s important to understand how hackers work, so you can stay safe from them. In this speciality camp, you will learn how to “hack” through fun coding (and code-breaking) exercises. You’ll learn about the three main methods hackers use, hack websites we set up, learn how to code, and build fake websites to spoof your friends. Along the way, you’ll learn how to stay safe online. Finally, you’ll examine the cyber-security for a real local business and give them recommendations on how to improve. Get ready to have fun breaking things! *Computer or tablet is required for this class. GDS will provide a Chromebook if you do not have access to your own device.
