Cowley College has partnered with KanOkla Networks and the Workforce Alliance of South Central Kansas to provide a pair of Summer Information Technology (IT) Camps at the Caldwell Community Building in Caldwell, KS. The Middle School IT Camp will take place July 6-10 and the High School IT Camp will be held July 13-17. Both camps will run daily from 9 a.m. to noon.

The camps were an idea brought up in meetings with KanOkla on how to bring information technology into the school systems in that part of the county. Jill Kuehny (CEO of KanOkla Networks) and Jan Grace (Sumner Campus Operations Officer) were vital in making the camps a possibility.

KanOkla Networks arranged the building and handled the marketing of the camps, while instruction will be provided by Cowley College Natural Science Department instructor David Hays. “We are arranging with KanOkla to bring robotics for the High School IT Camp and classes for seniors via the Golden Tigers program to the Caldwell area in the Fall,” Hays said.
