Re: Afterschool Technology Activities

I have offered enrichment after school classes in video (they created a =
music video) and in photography (they created a presentation about who =
they were including school, friends and family). This did require =
sending the equipment home for a week or two at a time (video cameras =
and still cameras). If I decide to offer the classes again this year, I =
plan on incorporating the cost of the camera into the fee, so the =
cameras will belong to the students. So, for a 10 week class, I can =
offer it for $200 - $250 and include a still camera or flipcam that the =
student will own.

Also, if you have a yearbook, after school is a great time to have kids =
take on working on pages. Often extended day programs are left out of =
the yearbook, so having them taking pictures and putting together a page =
or two on after school programs is one thing we have done. Also, =
editing the pictures that are available for yearbook (cropping, =
lighting, etc.) is helpful too.

Hi,

I am looking for any information related to afterschool activities that =
school have specifically for technology. Perhaps it is a programming =
activity, robotics or computer software exploration.

We run an activity in the Winter months to help provide another avenue =
for those that are not in team sports. Last year, we have used the =
MSDNAA program to help groups explorer their own interest and show off =
different software products to each other. This worked well, but I am =
exploring other options as well.

Thanks!
