Summer Camps Scholarship FundDid you know that each year, Trident Technical College is able to provide a limited number of scholarships to deserving youth so they can experience Kids’ College and Teen University summer camps? These students may come from a household that has a very low fixed-income, their parent(s) or legal guardian may be struggling to make ends meet or they may be in a foster care situation.

There are a variety of reasons why some youth need assistance through this important program. But it is only made possible through support from generous donors such as you. Any size donation can help.

Future TTC Students

A machine that cuts the crust off your bread and a comb that is shaped for

your head are just a couple of things that 9-year-old George Holseberg has invented.And that was before he came to TTC’s Kids’College summer camp, Tinkering on the Edgeof Innovation.

The camp was the perfect fit for George and his friend Sam Wilson, who attended with him in August. Sam, who aspires to be a scientist, loves to take things apart to see how they work. He keeps notes and watches the show “How it’s Made” on television with his dad. George says he would like to be an inventor because, “It’s a thrill and accomplishment to take something that is really hard to do and make it easier.”

The boys learned about simple machines – inclined plane, wheel and axle, wedge, lever, pulley, screw – and eventually created their own Rube Goldberg, which is a series of devices designed to perform a simple task. They also visited the aeronautical classrooms on campus where the kids were able to see how the simple machines carry over in the real world.

The instructor, Colleen Shoemaker, who is a full-time teacher at College Park Middle School, says she loves coming back to teach every summer because the kids are so excited to be there. They already have an interest in the topic, so her job is to help ignite the interest and make it a fun week. She says she wants them to be able to leave camp with positive feelings about learning and maybe a desire to further pursue something they like. “There may have been a future engineer in my camp this summer,” she says. “I hope they think back on our work this week as a time that helped them along the way.”

George and Sam partnered up on their project for the class, which was to use three to five simple machines to complete a task. The boys chose to pop a balloon using a ramp/inclined plane, a pulley and a lever. When their parents were invited to watch the kids demonstrate all of their projects, their passion for the project was clear. As the balloon successfully popped the boys jumped up with excitement exclaiming, “It worked!”

Sam’s mother, Suzan Wilson, was pleased to see how excited he was about the camp. She says, “Sam is a very active kid, and it is nice to have something that engages him so much.”

George and Sam came to the TTC Kids’ College camp in 2016 for the first time and couldn’t wait to come back again this year. They both loved the Junior CSI camp, where they learned how to take fingerprints, and the Mind Your Manners camp, which George says he really didn’t want to attend but still had fun.

George’s parents Lynda and Stephen Holseberg are very pleased with the variety of camps offered at Kids’ College. Lynda says, “From manners to music to culinary arts, you have covered a lot of bases,” and Stephen adds, laughing, “We may have to run him back through the manners camp, though, I think he forgot a few things.”
