BRAVE CAMPS

BRAVE CAMPS WE BELIEVE THAT ALL PEOPLE HAVE THE ABILITY TO CODE, BUT MANY HOLD THEMSELVES BACK. TO CHANGE THIS, WE RUN A 5-DAY BRAVECAMP THAT GETS PARTICIPANTS INVOLVED IN THE CREATIVE AND ENTHRALLING PROCESS OF DEVELOPING TECHNOLOGY USING DESIGN-THINKING TOOLS FOR SOCIAL IMPACT. BRAVECAMP BEGINS WITH TIME FOR PERSONAL REFLECTION AND ACTIVITIES THAT SPUR SELF-LOVE AND SELF-DISCOVERY. PARTICIPANTS THEN WILL IMMERSE THEMSELVES IN RELEVANT COMMUNITY ISSUES OF WHICH THEY FEEL PASSIONATE ABOUT AND PROTOTYPE TECH-BASED SOLUTIONS TO THESE ISSUES USING THE DESIGN PROCESS. PARTICIPANTS COME AWAY FROM THE CAMP WITH FEARLESSNESS AND SELF-EFFICACY TOWARDS COMPUTER SCIENCE AND THEIR ABILITIES TO DESIGN SOLUTIONS USING TECHNOLOGY THAT BETTER THEIR COMMUNITIES, AND ULTIMATELY, THE WORLD.
