Online Computer Classes for Teens

Online Computer Classes for Teens are now being offered by Giant Campus of Washington in a pilot program. This exciting program offers online computer classes for teens – free online computer classes – as part of public tuition free education! Imagine the fun of online high schools for game design! And don’t you wish your high school was an online school for 3D modeling? What kid isn’t looking for an online game 3D modeling course???

I recently had the opportunity to interview Cathy Shoaf of Giant Campus on the new directions the Giant Campus 2010 will bring! Here’s Cathy’s response to my questions of what directions Giant Campus 2010 is taking: “Giant Campus will continue to grow and provide academic excellence to Military programs for youth and adults, Online Technology Camps for youth, and Online Curriculum Development. Additionally, we are launching new and very exciting initiative – Giant Campus of Washington. This offering is a public, tuition-free online school that offers online elective courses to Washington state high school students in technology subjects like game design, 3D modeling and animation. Washington is our launching pad state and we hope to offer our curriculum in 4 more states in the next 6-9 months. Our public school courses are a natural extension of the leading education we’ve provided nationally through camps and online schools for the last 12 years. You can read more about our new initiative at Giant Campus Washington.”

Giant Campus of Washington’s Mission:
“Our mission is to create a collaborative learning community that prepares any student for life beyond the classroom through engaging curriculum that promotes independent thinking, creativity and originality.”

This is really great news for kids and teens that want to take online computer classes! What an exciting direction for this company to be taking. Sadly, this also means that Giant Campus will not be offering summer camps in 2010, allowing them to devote the time and resourses to the new online computer classes for kids and teens. These summer camps were a tradition in our household, my own son, Scot, now age 13, has attended Giant Campus (formerly Cybercamps) summer camps for three summers, and will really miss them. (You can see his picture at Giant Campus at UC Berkeley here: Scot at Camp) At the same time, though, he’ll be the first kid in California to enroll in high school online computer classes with Giant Campus!

Hi Jason (Computer Systems Tech)
Thanks for your interest in the online 3D modeling course! Right now Giant Campus is developing the couses that will be available to high school students online in 2010, so please check back when the info is available. For Washington State high school students there is currently no charge as part of the public education.
