Hello, computer scientists! Here is the first annual round-up of Computer Science and tech-related summer camps. I will update this as I find out more, so please contact me if I missed any!
First, in Rochester:
Community Ed does a great job attracting many different camps to the area, from Lego robotics and animation for younger students to Minecraft hacking with Java for those with more experience. Your best resource is the community Ed brochure: http://www.rochesterce.org/UserFiles/Servers/Server_3087734/File/Departments/Enrichment/Youth/2016-2017/Summer/Youth_SUMMER17_FINAL.pdf
Camp Invention also has many camps every summer, in Rochester and elsewhere: http://campinvention.org/inspire/camp-invention-k-6th/parent-resource-center/
Greater Minnesota:
Inver Hills Community College has a FREE Cyber-Security camp for high school students and a separate one for teachers!
