EGR Tech Camps
Join us for a week of digital learning!
The EGR Tech Camps are a week-long extravaganza of exciting project-based learning with technology. From games to robots to 3D printed objects, tech camp students have fun learning while experimenting with hands-on STEM projects.
EGR Tech Camps are designed for students entering grades 3 - 6 in the fall of 2020. Choose the classes that fit you best to design your ideal week!
