Groups of four from each grade will team up to build elements of their favorite scene from a popular book using robotics equipment that encourages creativity. At the end of the week each team will demonstrate their robotic story to friends and family. Throughout the week campers will get to play together on Eisenhower's playground and learn how to program their own animated stories via Scratch and Scratch Jr. High school coaches and teachers will guide campers through the jungles of their imagination and teach them how to turn their creative vision into technical reality.

CHIP is short for the Children's Health Insurance Program - Pennsylvania's program to provide health insurance to uninsured children and teens who are not eligible for or enrolled in Medical Assistance. Nine out of 10 CHIP parents report satisfaction with their child’s health plan, and 96% received an appointment for check-ups and vaccinations as soon as they wanted.

There are a lot of reasons kids might not have health insurance - maybe their parents lost a job, don't have health insurance at work or maybe it just costs too much. Whatever the reason, CHIP may be able to help. All families need to do is apply today.
