Chariots & Lowriders: 4-Day Tech Camp (PHX - AEROTERRA)

Join us for a FREE and exciting camp that incorporates technology, design, and celebration of local culture! In this four day experience (lunch and snacks provided) your child will learn about the rise of lowrider culture in Arizona, develop computer-aided-design skills used for engineering, and interact with robots using coding and creativity! The camp culminates in a public showcase where the community will celebrate the accomplishments of each camper!
