CompCamp is a technology education program for youth ages 8-15 that provides hands-on learning in areas like game development, social media, hardware, and web design. It was started in 2012 through a weekend startup event and uses volunteer mentors and affordable resources. The founders developed curriculum with local colleges and universities and ensure counselors are well-trained. CompCamp aims to fill a gap in tech education for youth and teach entrepreneurship skills while providing a fun learning environment. It relies on community partnerships, student funding, and revenue from programs, sponsorships, and grants.
