Caldwell Week 2: Minecraft

In camp so far, we've learned to use the resources we have in Minecraft to build anything to help us from a bridge to a house. It's been really fun. Also, we had to use maps to get through mazes. - S.R.

Caldwell Week 2: C++

I love International Ivy! I took C++ and I learned how to make a computer program. My program can turn celcius into farenhiet. Also, I loved water day, pajama day and the other activities during brake. -S.C.

The course I took this week is C++. We were able to start codding in eclipse is a program that allows us to code in C++. This camp is amazing, apart from the great courses, in break time we play outside, have snack, and have fun. I can't wait to come back next year! - E.W.

Chatham Week 2 - Robotics

"My favorite thing to do in my class robotics is to build.  I like the building part because you get to create and recreate. You an make it big, small, tall, short, strong ,weak or stylable.  To make your robot perfect, you will have to follow each direction carefully. If you are not careful you will have a disaster or maybe a good robot. The rules are to listen, behave and HAVE FUN!!!" - S.B.

Chatham Week 2: Magic Class

"Magic was AWESOME! We learned cool tricks that I'm not allowed to tell you the secret to (a magician never reveals his/her secrets.)  We also had to figure out "The Magic Knot"  I haven't figured it out yet, but it was fun!  International Ivy is the best!"
