Dear TechnoCamp Quest and Starforce parents,

There are 2 PARTS to the SHOWCASE:

Part 1 - Show & Tell: you will see which activity of their session was your child’s favorite.  We encourage you to ask your child questions (examples below) about what they learned or about their favorite part of the camp. This part should take about 25-30 min. 

Part 2 - Quick Clean Up: The student will be dismissed to the parent once the teacher checks back in all the supplies the student used during the week.  

Example questions for parents to ask their kids during the Show & Tell part of the showcase: 

1. Which activity or challenge was your favorite for the week?
