Every year, CompCamps provides one-week camps for students aged 12-17. The camps provide a fun environment to explore technology with a group of like-minded peers. Campers are able to pick one or more areas to focus on for a project that they will demo at the end of the week.
Campers will learn the basics of programming, electronics, and graphic design. With a mix of instructed and open project time, the campers are able to explore these areas in their own way.
Every year, we invite guest speakers to talk about their experiences in the tech industry. These speakers provide insight into the various career paths available in technology and inspire campers to pursue their interests.
CompCamps is designed for students aged 12-17 with an interest in technology and its role in our world. Campers should have a basic understanding of computers and be ready to learn more about programming, electronics, and graphic design.
Our camps are held in partnership with the University of Regina's Computer Science Department. The camps take place in the university's computer labs, giving campers access to the latest technology and resources.
