Camp vs. Class?
Online Virtual Camps are three hour blocks of engineering instruction that meet every day for a week. They include activities around the house or room to keep kids moving and engaged (since three hours would be too long to not move around!).
Online Classes meeting for one hour at a time, usually twice a week, and focus on a single engineering topic.
Both types of activities are great ways to engage your young engineer and the right choice should be driven by schedules and learning styles.
