Want to take the MAGIC that is Valley Youth Theatre right into your home? This year, for your student's spring break, VYT has adapted our traditional camp model to a virtual platform, so we can keep our students safe and healthy... while still offering our signature VYT fun for ages 5-8 or 9+!

Programs at the Wize Computing Academy follow K–12 Computer Science Standards and are designed to meaningfully extend STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts & Math) learning and expanding a child’s mind through the development of critical thinking, logic and reasoning skills.

By learning how to program computers in ComputerCraft, students gain extra control over their Minecraft worlds and can create new and exciting things. ComputerCraft is a modification for Minecraft that’s all about computer programming. It allows students to build in-game Computers and Turtle Robots, writing programs for Minecraft using the Lua programming language.

Students will have fun engaging their artistic side in our Digital Art camp! Create and edit images, shapes, and text, and learn how to make photo collages, use selection tools, filters, digital brushes and more! This is an introduction to photo editors and visual communication, solving visual problems with digital solutions. Add to your portfolio every day to show friends and family. Throughout the course, students will establish proficiency with the photo editor interface and tools, and will gain an understanding of file formats, color management, image resolution, and pixel depth for differing output needs. They will learn about texturing, compositing, and various effects that can be applied when creating and manipulating images. Kids and teens will be grouped by age and level. Maximum number of students will be 4 in a virtual setting.

This spring learn and build cool projects from the safety of your home. We ship everything kids need to enjoy a hands-on workshop and provide Live Instructor-led STEM workshops. The 3D Design and 3D printing workshop includes personalized 3D printed parts (made during the workshop) which are shipped to you for final assembly.

For families ready to join us in a safe environment, we look forward to holding in-person camps at our Bethesda, Rockville, and Northwest DC locations. We are also excited to continue providing our popular virtual programming with interactive and fun camps designed for the online format. This summer we will embrace what theatre is all about: creativity, collaboration, and community!
