CHI Camp 2001 Activities

Taking the CHI 2001 theme of "anyone. anywhere." one step beyond, CHI Camp 2001 will have a futuristic theme. Here is a sampling of some of the activities planned. Sign your children up at: https://www.kiddiecorp.com/chikids.htm

Technology Camp (ages 7 - 14) Sampling of Activities:

• Field trip to the opening plenary: Bill Gates.
• Field trip to some sessions - to be determined.
• Field trip to exhibit hall.
• CHI Camp website to be updated daily by the children, showing what they and the younger children are doing from day to day.
• CHI-spy Mission: Teams of children will have to take digital pictures of designated CHI folks, types of technology, etc. They will post the results of their "mission" to the CHI Camp website.
• Computer careers of the future: We will research current computer career options using the internet and conducting interviews with conference attendees. We will also invent some computer careers that we think the future may call for. We'll post our ideas on the CHI Camp website.
• The future of technology and robots: We will do some research on the international space station using the internet. What types of technology are going to be useful to us when we are living on space stations and maybe even on the moon? What will our robots do for us? What will they look like? We will create a multimedia power point presentation of our ideas.
• Sports stations, active play time, Nintendo, independent computer time, and movies available each day. Some movies are Discovery movies related to our activites.
• Optional field trip to Gameworks.

Space Camp (ages 3 - 6) Sampling of Activities:

• Pitching our space camp.
• Creating a comic book where you are the hero.
• Build your own story with multimedia software.

• Creating a paper mache solar system model.
• Inventing space robots: If we lived on the moon or one of the other planets and could have a robot do anything for us, what would we have it do? What would it look like? We'll draw or use a graphics program to show everyone.
• Sports stations, active play time, Nintendo, movies, arts & crafts, and independent computer time available each day.
