Oakland's Week 6 Final Mix

It's the final week here in Oakland, and we're trying to make the most of it. It's been a great summer so far, but Oakland is making sure that we've got one last hurrah to end it right!

It's a small week here, but it's anything but quiet. Excited youngsters yelp with joy as their 3D model is finally finished, or as they miraculously defeat their counselor in a board game against all odds.

3D Printing is modeling themselves a good time this week, as our campers are working hard to design and print their own three-dimensional creations. So far this week, our campers have created a stunning array of creatures, ranging from Pokemon, to more Pokemon, to a lot more Pokemon.
Bulbasaur and Magnemite are only a few of the creatures that keep making an appearance in that classroom.
This little camper fantasizes about how many Pokemon he'll be printing within the next 72 hours. 
This camper is the only one not mass producing Pokemon, a true rarity. 

Brain Training is focused on keeping campers sharp during the summer with memorization exercises and logical techniques. The class mainly consists of logic drills and strategic board games to assist campers in developing their minds faster during a time when many other kids don't have the same development. 

These campers are working on a logical puzzle as a team.
These campers are in awe as their next challenge is announced. 
Counselor Josh works to make sure that the campers stay on task,
Graphic Design students are hard at work designing their own graphics for their own businesses. Students build collages of their personalities, design logos for companies, and learn about the basics of GIMP to help them fully realize their dreams as a designer. 

These campers work to create personalized logos for business purposes. 
The instructor advises these two aspiring graphic designers on optimal corporate marketing strategy. 
Oakland has been running out it's break game bucket list as well, as every idea previously shelved during the summer is coming out now. Be on the lookout for some more imaginative games from the Oakland campus. 

It was a staff battle royale in the final round of the Rocks-Paper-Scissors tournament.
The agony of defeat takes it's toll on this camper. 
The staff is grinning with the fun that's in store for this week. The break games will be bigger and better, and Oakland will finish up for the summer with a bang!
