This is the first year for the technology camp, which began last week and winds up Friday. By the last day, the students will have produced a podcast and developed skills that should come in handy in years to come. “What an opportunity for them,” said Emily Keene, principal of West Zephyrhills Elementary. “This is real world. This is something they can use in the future.” Elena Garcia, the school district’s Title I supervisor, said the goal of the camp is to “close the digital divide” so that all students can build technology skills that will be crucial in the future as they prepare for college or enter the workforce.
