Here are some great ways to keep your children active and engaged in the world of math, science, and technology. ( I have visited all of the sites and read through the information, however, I do not get paid to promote this information, so please always read the fine print.)
#1. http://www.wouldntitbecoolif.com/
The "Wouldn't It Be Cool If..." Call for Submissions (the "Contest") provides children, ages 10 – 15, with the opportunity to come up with a cool idea powered by math or science to make the world "more awesome" and to submit the idea for consideration. Judges and the general public will choose the winning entries, and prizes will be awarded in accordance with the Official Rules. Entrants will compete in one (1) of two (2) age groups, either 10 – 12 or 13 – 15.
#2. Techie Camp http://techcorps.org/techie-camp
Techie Camp is a full-day, week-long technology experience designed specifically for elementary and middle school students. The goal of Techie Camp is to engage students in activities that can stimulate a deeper interest in technology; as well as provide opportunities for them to express their imaginations. Techie Camps are offered at a variety of locations between June 11, 2012 and August 24, 2012.
#3 Applications for Education http://www.apple.com/education/apps/
These applications will keep your children having fun while learning on their Apple programs. You can even download many Everyday Math Games for Iphone or Ipad for free!
#4 Keyboard Skills http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/typing/
The children love this interactive way to practice their keyboard skills. Full of lights, music, and fun characters.
