Special Summer Camp Program
BUILD YOUR OWN COMPUTER!
AFTERNOONS 1:00 – 4:00pm
SMALL GROUP SIZE!
Learn how to build a fully functioning PC in one week and take it home after camp is over! This a very unique program! (We’ve had families travel hundreds of miles to attend!) A great way to learn all about computers! Taught in very small groups.
Choose from five levels of PC hardware we’ve selected, or with the option to supply your own parts*.
[ ] $845 Basic Computer (i3 CPU)
[ ] $1195 Mid-Range Gaming Computer (i5 CPU, 1660 graphics)
[ ] $2295 High-Performance Gaming PC (i7 CPU, 4060 graphics card)
[ ] $3495 Ultimate Gaming PC (i9 CPU, 4080 graphics card)
[ ] $745 Steam Gaming Console (without Windows)
Options that do not include a take-home computer:
[ ] $395 Bring Your Own Parts*
[ ] $295 Practice PC (attend camp only – available for a sibling or friend of a camper building a take-home PC on same or concurrent registration)
*Includes consulting to approve your parts list and ensure compatibility analysis at least one week before camp begins. Note: We are NOT RESPONSIBLE for parts supplied by campers! (We ARE responsible for all parts supplied by us, and campers selecting the Basic, Mid, Gaming, Ultimate, or Steam computer models are guaranteed to walk out of camp with a fully working computer.)
· Explore the inner workings of a desktop PC! Understand how each part works, connects to the system, and influences overall performance. Troubleshoot. Build your own working PC and take it home!
· PCs include CASE, POWER SUPPLY, MOTHER BOARD, DISK DRIVES, VIDEO CARD (mid and up PCs), KEYBOARD, MOUSE, and your choice of Windows 11 Pro**, Windows 10** or Ubuntu Linux.
· Campers will use camp-supplied monitors and speakers for the week. (You’ll need to supply your own PC monitor display and speakers or headphones after camp is over to use the PC.)
Campers selecting the Practice PC option work with camp-supplied parts. Computers will be disassembled at the end of the camp week. Practice PC option may also be selected for campers wishing to build their own computer first week and then attend for additional weeks without building a second computer to take home.
