00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:02.839
<v Speaker 1>Welcome. It is time now for our community connection right

2
00:00:02.879 --> 00:00:07.240
<v Speaker 1>here on K one, the one you trust and like.

3
00:00:07.320 --> 00:00:10.039
<v Speaker 1>We do about this time every month we talk to

4
00:00:10.119 --> 00:00:12.880
<v Speaker 1>our friends from cry County Tech and we have Miss

5
00:00:12.960 --> 00:00:15.919
<v Speaker 1>Heather with us today and Heather, it's great to have

6
00:00:15.960 --> 00:00:19.960
<v Speaker 1>you on board. We've got something exciting for summer coming up.

7
00:00:20.079 --> 00:00:21.559
<v Speaker 2>We sure do you. Thanks for having me.

8
00:00:21.640 --> 00:00:24.440
<v Speaker 1>You're welcome. Now. Tell us a little bit about the

9
00:00:24.519 --> 00:00:26.600
<v Speaker 1>Steam Camp and we all know it gets hot, but

10
00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:28.280
<v Speaker 1>it's not that kind of steam.

11
00:00:28.039 --> 00:00:30.039
<v Speaker 2>No, but it does get pretty steamy. Are out there?

12
00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:30.359
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

13
00:00:30.399 --> 00:00:31.320
<v Speaker 2>Bet so.

14
00:00:31.399 --> 00:00:36.520
<v Speaker 3>Steam is our science, technology, engineering, our arts, and our math.

15
00:00:37.039 --> 00:00:38.159
<v Speaker 2>That's what it stands for.

16
00:00:38.359 --> 00:00:41.320
<v Speaker 3>And we run for the first three weeks of June

17
00:00:41.719 --> 00:00:43.960
<v Speaker 3>and have third graders all the way through ninth graders

18
00:00:43.960 --> 00:00:46.399
<v Speaker 3>come out and enjoy a week of Steam Camp.

19
00:00:46.560 --> 00:00:50.679
<v Speaker 1>Now I understand that the young younger portion of the demographic,

20
00:00:51.679 --> 00:00:53.759
<v Speaker 1>they are gung ho and ready to go.

21
00:00:54.479 --> 00:00:58.320
<v Speaker 3>We have an amazing turnout for the third and fourth

22
00:00:58.439 --> 00:01:01.119
<v Speaker 3>and then the fifth and sixth. Are are almost at

23
00:01:01.159 --> 00:01:02.880
<v Speaker 3>capacity for those two age grades.

24
00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:03.759
<v Speaker 1>We still have room.

25
00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:05.840
<v Speaker 2>We have a little bit of room for those those

26
00:01:05.879 --> 00:01:06.400
<v Speaker 2>age rooms.

27
00:01:06.480 --> 00:01:11.879
<v Speaker 3>Yeah ok, yeah, Now seven through ten, seventh through ninth, Yeah,

28
00:01:11.959 --> 00:01:12.359
<v Speaker 3>through nine.

29
00:01:12.439 --> 00:01:14.640
<v Speaker 1>That's that's the one where we have some opening.

30
00:01:14.840 --> 00:01:16.200
<v Speaker 2>You know, that is the age group.

31
00:01:16.239 --> 00:01:19.159
<v Speaker 3>I have a son that is around that age, and

32
00:01:20.480 --> 00:01:23.439
<v Speaker 3>usually when summer hits, they think, oh, I can sleep in,

33
00:01:23.719 --> 00:01:27.680
<v Speaker 3>play some video games, and uh, you know what's what's

34
00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:30.599
<v Speaker 3>a week of still getting those kids up, getting them

35
00:01:30.599 --> 00:01:34.200
<v Speaker 3>out to Steam Camp and getting away from the video

36
00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:36.959
<v Speaker 3>games just for a little bit and enjoying some hands

37
00:01:36.959 --> 00:01:37.719
<v Speaker 3>on activities.

38
00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:39.040
<v Speaker 2>It's a really great time.

39
00:01:39.239 --> 00:01:42.239
<v Speaker 1>Well, it is tell us a little bit about the

40
00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:46.760
<v Speaker 1>different types of classes because it's wide, that's a big spectrum.

41
00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:49.159
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, So for seventh and ninth grade, we have we

42
00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:54.040
<v Speaker 3>are offering nine camps. We have our chef camp, actually

43
00:01:54.079 --> 00:01:56.719
<v Speaker 3>eight camps, I'm sorry, eight camps. Chef Camp, which is

44
00:01:56.760 --> 00:01:59.519
<v Speaker 3>always a big popular one. They get to cook, get

45
00:01:59.519 --> 00:02:02.400
<v Speaker 3>a lot of hand on skills, learn how they're way

46
00:02:02.439 --> 00:02:05.480
<v Speaker 3>around the kitchen, come home with a nice cookbook of

47
00:02:05.519 --> 00:02:06.480
<v Speaker 3>different recipes.

48
00:02:07.239 --> 00:02:08.919
<v Speaker 2>And then we have our coding creators.

49
00:02:08.919 --> 00:02:11.879
<v Speaker 3>Those are our ones that love video games, so they

50
00:02:11.919 --> 00:02:15.000
<v Speaker 3>can learn how to program some computers. And that's a

51
00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:17.000
<v Speaker 3>little bit more out of my realm, but they have

52
00:02:17.039 --> 00:02:19.800
<v Speaker 3>a lot of fun. Joshua Stewart is our instructor for

53
00:02:19.840 --> 00:02:21.080
<v Speaker 3>that and he does a great job.

54
00:02:21.879 --> 00:02:23.240
<v Speaker 2>And then we have our robotics.

55
00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:26.599
<v Speaker 3>They build robotics and at the end, I know, it's

56
00:02:26.639 --> 00:02:28.599
<v Speaker 3>pretty cool and at the end they have a lot

57
00:02:28.599 --> 00:02:31.479
<v Speaker 3>of challenges and it can run those robotics and do

58
00:02:31.520 --> 00:02:34.680
<v Speaker 3>a lot of games throughout that, so that's fun. We

59
00:02:34.759 --> 00:02:39.159
<v Speaker 3>have our science, which I'm really surprised that not many

60
00:02:39.240 --> 00:02:41.680
<v Speaker 3>kids like the science or want to get into that,

61
00:02:41.879 --> 00:02:44.639
<v Speaker 3>but it is one of when they take it, it's

62
00:02:44.680 --> 00:02:47.680
<v Speaker 3>one of their favorites. We do a lot of hands

63
00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:49.919
<v Speaker 3>on experiences. And one of my favorites is they take

64
00:02:49.960 --> 00:02:52.840
<v Speaker 3>our Steam Camp shirt because everybody gets a shirt at

65
00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:55.000
<v Speaker 3>the end of camp and they do a reverse tiedie

66
00:02:55.400 --> 00:02:58.639
<v Speaker 3>on that shirt and it's a really cool design. They

67
00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:01.319
<v Speaker 3>get to design it and do a reverse tied eye

68
00:03:01.319 --> 00:03:02.960
<v Speaker 3>on that T shirt and so that's a lot of fun.

69
00:03:03.680 --> 00:03:08.319
<v Speaker 1>Now, science it's so practical because once you have a

70
00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:13.360
<v Speaker 1>little bit of scientific knowledge, yeah, you've got pretty much

71
00:03:13.879 --> 00:03:17.159
<v Speaker 1>clear pathway to figure out problems moving.

72
00:03:16.840 --> 00:03:18.960
<v Speaker 2>Forward, moving forward, a lot of debasis.

73
00:03:19.039 --> 00:03:22.639
<v Speaker 1>It's not all science, but the methodology. Yeah, you'll find

74
00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:23.759
<v Speaker 1>the truth in a lot of ways.

75
00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:27.560
<v Speaker 3>And our instructors for that make it so fun and intriguing.

76
00:03:27.639 --> 00:03:29.120
<v Speaker 2>And the kids.

77
00:03:29.159 --> 00:03:31.280
<v Speaker 3>I tell you, we get a lot of feedback that

78
00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:33.400
<v Speaker 3>they had a lot of fun in our science class, so.

79
00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:34.759
<v Speaker 1>Your whole life.

80
00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:37.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, And that's the one I like to visit

81
00:03:37.039 --> 00:03:39.000
<v Speaker 3>most often because I know they're going to be doing

82
00:03:39.080 --> 00:03:42.599
<v Speaker 3>you know, making goop and slime and all kinds of stuff.

83
00:03:42.719 --> 00:03:45.400
<v Speaker 3>So that's and they made homemade bubbles one year. So

84
00:03:45.479 --> 00:03:47.680
<v Speaker 3>they do a lot of fun things in the science class.

85
00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:49.000
<v Speaker 2>And then we have our art.

86
00:03:49.319 --> 00:03:52.879
<v Speaker 3>Art is always one of the favorites, you know, making

87
00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:57.960
<v Speaker 3>that creativity really starts to stir around, and kids really.

88
00:03:57.800 --> 00:04:02.159
<v Speaker 2>Enjoy enjoy the art. Engineering. That's when we're bringing back

89
00:04:02.199 --> 00:04:02.520
<v Speaker 2>this year.

90
00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:05.039
<v Speaker 3>We didn't have that one last year, and it's one

91
00:04:05.080 --> 00:04:06.680
<v Speaker 3>of our most popular.

92
00:04:06.199 --> 00:04:08.360
<v Speaker 2>Ones is the engineering class.

93
00:04:07.879 --> 00:04:12.080
<v Speaker 3>And they get to to build mouse trap cars.

94
00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:14.159
<v Speaker 2>And they do amazing things.

95
00:04:14.240 --> 00:04:16.800
<v Speaker 3>David is our instructor for that and he does a

96
00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:18.560
<v Speaker 3>great job for the engineering.

97
00:04:18.240 --> 00:04:20.120
<v Speaker 1>So it's like creativity.

98
00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:23.879
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, building bridges, how to how to build a bridge

99
00:04:24.160 --> 00:04:27.560
<v Speaker 3>is designed and built, so they do a lot of that.

100
00:04:27.639 --> 00:04:28.920
<v Speaker 1>People take that for granted.

101
00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:32.480
<v Speaker 3>There is a method to that, and and you know

102
00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:35.160
<v Speaker 3>a lot of math and science, but you know, our

103
00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:38.240
<v Speaker 3>instructors make it fun and and a lot of hands

104
00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:40.720
<v Speaker 3>on so they don't feel like they're in class and

105
00:04:40.759 --> 00:04:44.560
<v Speaker 3>doing you know, math and science and they're doing things

106
00:04:44.600 --> 00:04:45.720
<v Speaker 3>hands on activities.

107
00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:46.279
<v Speaker 2>That's right.

108
00:04:47.279 --> 00:04:49.360
<v Speaker 3>And then we a new thing we're having this year

109
00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:53.079
<v Speaker 3>is baby City and for our seventh and ninth graders,

110
00:04:53.120 --> 00:04:56.040
<v Speaker 3>they actually get certification and for STAATEE and CPR.

111
00:04:56.439 --> 00:04:57.399
<v Speaker 2>Wow, and that's big.

112
00:04:58.240 --> 00:05:02.000
<v Speaker 3>They'll get their actual CPR car hard and learn all

113
00:05:02.079 --> 00:05:06.639
<v Speaker 3>those you know, the first aid basics and CPR which

114
00:05:06.759 --> 00:05:08.600
<v Speaker 3>is something that a lot of times parents are looking

115
00:05:08.600 --> 00:05:11.279
<v Speaker 3>for when they're looking for a babysitter. We're going to

116
00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:14.959
<v Speaker 3>help them learn how to promote their babysitting, how to

117
00:05:15.040 --> 00:05:17.399
<v Speaker 3>you know, get it out there, spread the word that

118
00:05:17.439 --> 00:05:21.000
<v Speaker 3>they're babysitting, what's the going rate for babysitters this, you know, now,

119
00:05:21.160 --> 00:05:23.560
<v Speaker 3>help them create a flyer kind of a business plan,

120
00:05:24.199 --> 00:05:26.240
<v Speaker 3>and how to get the word out that they're you know,

<v Speaker 1>That is going to be cool.

125
00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:39.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and we have a couple of our childcare teachers

126
00:05:39.399 --> 00:05:41.040
<v Speaker 3>that are going to come out from our E L

127
00:05:41.279 --> 00:05:43.279
<v Speaker 3>and Step up and teach that class. So I'm so

128
00:05:43.319 --> 00:05:45.800
<v Speaker 3>excited about this one. That's kind of been my passion.

129
00:05:45.920 --> 00:05:48.519
<v Speaker 3>So I'm excited about the babysitting class.

130
00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:50.680
<v Speaker 1>My goodness sakes, this is going to be a fun

131
00:05:50.920 --> 00:05:51.959

134
00:05:57.160 --> 00:05:59.800
<v Speaker 1>Okay, now we've set the table. Yeah, how do we

135
00:05:59.839 --> 00:06:02.040
<v Speaker 1>get the ticket? How do we play the card? How

136
00:06:02.040 --> 00:06:03.720
<v Speaker 1>do we get our child en roll?

137
00:06:04.120 --> 00:06:05.879
<v Speaker 3>So you're going to go to our website at Tri

138
00:06:05.959 --> 00:06:09.920
<v Speaker 3>County Tech DIEDU and it is on the very main page.

00:07:23.800 --> 00:07:25.519

172
00:07:25.560 --> 00:07:27.439
<v Speaker 3>twenty one years, so it's pretty fantastic.

173

<v Speaker 3>Yes, we've won multiple awards, Baldage Award, you know, best

176
00:07:36.199 --> 00:07:37.120

<v Speaker 1>Very good and you keep adding things on all the time.

179
00:07:42.279 --> 00:07:44.759
<v Speaker 1>And now we've got the kids who can go to

180
00:07:44.800 --> 00:07:47.639
<v Speaker 1>Trick County Tech while they're still in high school. Yes,

181
00:07:47.879 --> 00:07:52.199
<v Speaker 1>and getting them introduced to, you know, learning a little

182
00:07:52.240 --> 00:07:55.199
<v Speaker 1>bit more than what's on the blackboard with the steam classes,

183
00:07:55.639 --> 00:07:59.160
<v Speaker 1>that's awesome. Yeah, So if your child might be a

184
00:07:59.160 --> 00:08:03.000
<v Speaker 1>little bit timid, this will be a good glass breaker

185
00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:03.480
<v Speaker 1>for them.

186
00:08:03.519 --> 00:08:05.279
<v Speaker 3>You know. And what I like about the seam camp,

187
00:08:05.439 --> 00:08:08.319
<v Speaker 3>especially the seventh through the ninth graders, and they get

188
00:08:08.319 --> 00:08:11.079
<v Speaker 3>a little bit of about what Tri County is and

189
00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:12.279
<v Speaker 3>what they're going to see.

190
00:08:12.160 --> 00:08:14.959
<v Speaker 2>If they do enroll into one of our programs all time.
