Local Science and Technology Camp Strikes Chord With Future-Focused Children

More than a dozen kids recently showed up at Lansing's Impression 5 Science Center to participate in a week-long, hands-on technology camp designed to get kids interested in science and technology.

According to excerpts from the article:

Loren Todd, of East Lansing, joined more than a dozen 7th-, 8th- and 9th-graders at Impression 5 Science Center in Lansing this week for a technology camp.

Okemos-based TechSmith Corp. funded the camp. The Information Technology Empowerment Center of Lansing, or ITEC, provided instructors.

On Monday, the first day of camp, Loren created a zombie cat character for a computer program.

"I just thought it'd be interesting to have a camp that's all about science and making stuff with computers and building robots with LEGOS," Loren said. "I thought it would be kind of interesting to have all those different activities, as opposed to just sitting around the house all day or going to some more boring camp."
