Overview

Our mission at Tech Rocks is to get your child excited about technology, as well as give them the tools to be successful.

Our camps are an optimal balance to ensure they are engaged while learning essential tech topics like typing, coding fundamentals, and much more.

TYPING

Our award-winning typing curriculum has repetitive drills to build proper touch typing, multi-player games, and Leaderboards to spur friendly competition. While typing is usually boring, we provide the ideal environment where students at are camps are motivated to excel.

CODING

Our progressive coding tracks are individualized to each student, ensuring they can move at their own pace and are given the guidance when necessary. We move from block coding to traditional languages like Javascript, & Python. Students can also work on a web/app track which teaches HTML, CSS & JQuery.

FREE TIME

To ensure students stay engaged, we offer Free Time to motivate them to finish their necessary lessons and tasks. Free Time is a fun way for students to have fun and collaborate in their favorite games like Minecraft, Roblox, and Fortnite.

**Minimum of 6 students

(Type, Coding, & Minecraft Camp)

I was able to sign up for this camp last minute when our schedule changed. It was a great option for our Minecraft-loving daughter. They also brushed up her typing skills and basic coding. I also appreciated they were flexible when I had to pick her up a few minutes late. If you’re ok with it being entirely online and limited outside time, would recommend it.

Our son really enjoyed learning about coding and making Minecraft mods. He wasn't too keen on the typing part, but I'm glad to hear that they practiced typing every day and were evaluated, since it's an important skill to develop.

I'm sure this camp is right for the right target group, however, make sure you're the one!
Our experience (San Mateo location):
- they don't take the kids out to any parks for fresh air
- if your kids enjoy socializing with real people while doing tech, this is more focused on 'tech on your own with headphones'
- it's not really guidance on how to grow and develop skills, so if your kid hasn't been brought up with screens (conscious choice of ours) it might not be the most valuable time spent
Our 8-year-old liked the teachers, and there were plenty of different things to do on the computers, however not very compelling unless you're really into it.
