SVSU's Camp Infinity introduces girls to computer and internet technologies through hands-on activities. Campers are split into two groups according to the Fall 2018 grade level: 5th-6th grade and 7th-8th grade. Campers in grades 5th-6th will study video game design concepts and robotics. Campers in grades 7th-8th will study robotics and mobile app design concepts. In addition, students will participate in mini- sessions that highlight programming skills and real-world uses of technology.
