The students learned to program Raspberry Pi computers using the Python programming language, and worked on projects that included facial recognition, SMART manufacturing and designing a photo booth.
“The camp was sponsored by TEEX and the Texas A&M Cybersecurity Center, allowing us to offer the weeklong day camp for just $200 tuition,” said Camp Coordinator Diane Cornwell of TEEX’s Knowledge Engineering Division. “I’d also like to thank the TEEXans who provided scholarships for students to attend the camp.
