Computer Curriculum is a set of materials used by an
education organization to offer after school
programs, classes, workshops, or a computer camp
program to children ages 7-12 in the community.

Computer Curriculum is comprised of thirteen
projects. Each technology project contains four
theme based lessons, which allow a location to

full-day computer camp or club.
Fun theme days have
students become artists, detectives, knights, and pirates. Computer camp projects are a
great way to introduce children to the power of
technology.
