Looking for a way to keep your kids learning during Spring Break? Want to invest in something with a guaranteed return? How about your kid's education?

Looking for a way to keep your kids learning during Spring Break? Want to invest in something with a guaranteed return? How about your kid's education?
At Camp Wiz Kids, we believe it is a much richer experience for a kid to create a video game than to play one, or to produce a video or animated feature than to watch one. We believe that kids are the ultimate inventors, they have not yet learned that there are limits, everything is possible, there is a solution to every problem.
At Camp Wiz Kids, your kids will be introduced to engineering and technology concepts that will allow them to create (instead of consume) the media they are so engaged with, while communicating the ideas that are important to them and making lifelong friends.
Students will be introduced to concepts such as:
- Computer Animation with Scratch
- LEGO Physics
- Video Production
- Stop Motion Animation
- LEGO Robotics
- Discover Engineering
Registration fee is normally $180, however we are currently accepting EARLY BIRD REGISTRATIONS, for $160 / child, until Friday 3/6. After 3/7, price returns to $180/ child.

Review of Portland Wiz Kids, April 08, 2009
My daughter participated in a "Gateway to Engineering for Girls" class and came home with the greatest collection of fun, GIRLY stuff that she built in class, from a light-up necklace, to a bouncing stuffed animal. The girls developed a great understanding of how everything worked and could explain it very clearly. Sensing no limits, she later went on to participate on a couple of fun and successful middle school teams (one of them through Portland Wiz Kids), in engineering-related competitions, including FIRST Lego League and the Sally Ride Science Foundation's Inventor's Toy Challenge. What a great introduction to technology and engineering.

Review of Portland Wiz Kids, April 08, 2009
Diana Laboy-Rush is extremely knowledgeable and incredibly talented when it comes to teaching technology. She also has a keen ability to open the minds of her students to the exciting world of becoming inventors, innovators and engineers! I had the opportunity to watch Diana in action as she coached a team of students which included my son on their march to take the second highest award given at 2008 Sally Ride Science Toy Challenge Competition which had thousands of teams competing. This was a proud accomplishment for my son which he will forever remember and for which I will always be grateful for!
