If you thought last summer’s tech experience was impressive, get ready — this year, it’s going to be even more phenomenal.
The Urban League of Essex County is once again opening the doors of its Tech House — one of Newark’s most exciting yet under-the-radar hubs for youth innovation — to offer a free Summer Tech Camp for students ages 11 to 13.
The six-week program runs Monday through Friday, from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., starting July 7 through August 15, at 152 Littleton Avenue in Newark.
Young minds will dive into a powerful mix of hands-on learning and fun, with activities that include:
- Filmmaking – Turning stories into screen-ready productions
- 3D Printing – Bringing creative ideas into the real world
- Coding – Building apps, games, and tech confidence
- Math Skills – Sharpening logic for academic and real-world success
In addition to its rich curriculum, the camp offers daily breakfast, lunch, and an afternoon snack, ensuring students stay energized and focused throughout the day.
More than just a summer program, this camp serves as a launchpad for future leaders in technology and design — and it’s entirely free for Essex County families.
Spots are limited and interest is already high, so parents and guardians are encouraged to act fast. For more information or to register, visit https://bit.ly/3YL3ESB or scan the QR code found on the official camp announcement.
This summer, give your child the chance to create, build, and grow — right in the heart of Newark’s Tech House.
