Webmaster Camp for Middle Level Students

Information about the camp

A computer camp was held for middle school students in order to give them the opportunity to learn web design skills. The students were identified through guidance counselors at the middle schools in the Wake County Public School System for the first year. The first year camp accommodated 10 students from the WCPSS who have an interest in technology. The students were provided with a one-week camp designed to teach them skills in web design and maintenance as well as opportunities to interact on the NCSU campus in the cafeteria and gymnasium. The schools are asked to provide teacher mentors for each student and allow him/her the opportunity to use the skills s/he has learned when returning to the school.
Student information was collected via surveys and interviews. Follow-up information on the students will help determine the effectiveness of the camp.
