Summer Camp 2023, the fun continues. Yesterday, our super smart campers strategized and followed directions very carefully to build/assemble their robots. Making new friends, creating new experiences, and having fun while exploring the world of career tech education, that's what Pioneer & Summer Camp are all about! #PioneerCTC #SummerCamp #InteractiveLearning

We had a great Day 1 of Summer Camp! Students learned about building and flying a drone from our special guests, Jordan & Amber. Jordan is a software engineer for Motorola, visiting all the way from Utah. Campers also got to participate in making their very own camp t-shirts in our Graphic Arts Lab with Mr. Dichtl. Hands on learning is the best! It's going to be a great week. #PioneerCTC #SummerCamp #FutureLeaders
