Hi I'm Theodor Sandel-Konjevic and today I'll be talking a bit about the summer Computer Camp for Kids, or CompCamp (eng) for shorter. As educators, our job is to leave a better future behind us. The future is in the hands of the youngest ones, so teaching them how to tackle the world is the smartest investment we can make. And all of us here are aware of the importance the digital world has on the present – and that importance will only increase as time goes on. So, what we're doing here is really putting 2 and 2 together. The problem we are currently facing in Serbia, one that needs to be solved as soon as possible, is the lack of computer literacy in our children and youth. Nowadays, a lot of kids spend their free time playing videogames, and everyone uses computers, smartphones and tablets in some way. It has become a way of life that sometimes might look scary, because it’s all advancing very fast. Every day new technology is coming out, new apps for various tasks in our lives. Kids today are using technology from a very young age, much before they have a chance to start learning anything about them. They often grow up thinking that the computer serves as little more than a toy. While video games have been proven to be helpful in developing a child’s creativity and critical thinking, many kids unfortunately just stop there without ever knowing the various things they can make using the computer. Schools are making an effort into educating youth about computers and technology. However, all of us here are completely aware of how fast paced the technology world is. It changes every day. By the time a school can implement programs into the curriculum, those programs become outdated, and you have the unfortunate situation that often, high schoolers are still learning how to code in Pascal simply because it’s hard to keep up with the pace of which technology is coming out. This isn’t the schools fault, but when schools can’t take up the task, and kids today often know more than their parents and teachers about computers, whose role is it to take on the task of solving computer literacy? That’s where the Computer Camp for Kids come into the story. The computer camp for kids is something completely new In our areas, a summer camp in which children and youth learn useful things on the computer. Now if you are like most parents you would be worried – I don’t need my child to spend even more time in front of the computer, all he does is play games and surfs the Internet . What we do is the opposite, we not only try to show kids how to make the most of the powerful machines they have at their disposal, and how to navigate the virtual world – we show them the world outside the boundaries of the screen, as well.... look in notes more.
