EXPLORATION CYBERCAMP

CyberCamp Objectives

The Digital Learning Classroom in the Founders Library is the home base for this computer adventure. CyberCamp is designed to strengthen the information technology skills of youth in the Washington metropolitan area. Campers will explore designated landmarks on the Internet and visit major cultural centers on actual field trips. They will attend special presentations by selected faculty, review biographical websites on inventors and innovators, and learn about the patent and trademark process. By the end of the camp, participants will navigate the Internet effectively and conduct effective searches. They will also have a broader knowledge of the cultural heritage of the District of Columbia.

At the end of the CyberCamp students will:

exhibit technological literacy
send, read, and reply to e-mail messages
construct effective search strategies for selected search engines and databases
construct a web page
logically organize data gathered through observation or interviewing
describe how the cultural and educational resources in a community can influence the discoveries and innovations the resident makes later in life
recognize the contributions of African Americans to the culture and character of the city and the nation
