Summer Technology "Camp" for youth

[Greg Burns]

Hello Everyone,

The Children's Cabinet in Reno, NV is considering a youth technology 
summer "camp" in our computer lab over the summer.  We have some 
experience working with youth through a variety of programs, but the 
technology camp would be relatively uncharted territory for us.  Our 
initial vision includes two or three groups of youth, ages 10 - 14, 
learning technology skills through age-appropriate, hands-on projects, 
with older teens, ages 16-18, acting as mentors.  In regard to this 
proposal, I am hoping some of you may help me by pointing me to:

*                Examples of successful programs and lessons-learned from 
similar endeavors
*                Tested curriculum examples for similar programs
*                Any other resources that would make such a program 
successful

I will be acting as coordinator for this camp, so any feedback you can 
offer would be great.  Thank you!
