Summer Program Opportunity in Technology
|
The PGCC IET Department in conjunction with CETAT will be providing our Annual Technology Camp for youth. Last year, several students from CMIT North participated in the program, and we hope that some CMIT-SOUTH will join us this year. In short, during this program students will learn about web design, coding, video production, music production and photography. This program is free for county residents who adhere to all of the registration deadlines. If you have any questions, or require any additional information, please let me know. Here is a link with some pictures from our program last year - http://cetat.org/index.php/apply-for-summer-workshop
