Technology Camp 2026

July 6 @ 9:00 am – July 10 @ 3:00 pm

Technology Camp is a weeklong, hands-on day camp designed to introduce youth to technology skills that support education, independence, and future career pathways. This year’s curriculum will focus on website development, combining computer literacy, collaborative learning, and real-world technology applications.

Campers will participate in a full college campus tour at the University of Missouri–Kansas City (UMKC) and engage in integrated collaboration opportunities with UMKC and Enterprise KC. Instruction will be led by experienced professionals, including Dr. Chuck Gardner of Enterprise KC, who will serve as one of the lead instructors, as well as Dr. Mathew Edwards, an associate professor at UMKC, a member of the BVI community, and founder of the UMKC Disability Alliance.

  • Dr. Chuck Gardner, of EKC, is working with a student in a computer lab.
  • Dr. Edward is a member of the BVI community. He is standing with his arms crossed and is looking at the camera.

Youth who attend and successfully complete the program will be issued a laptop equipped with accessible software, including JAWS or ZoomText and the Microsoft operating system. At the conclusion of the camp, campers will take their laptop and headphones home to keep, ensuring continued access to technology beyond the program.
