			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- google_ad_section_start --><p>Hey All &#8211; it’s (the other) Pete reflecting on another amazing season at iD Tech! This is the moment that everyone gets to take a nice long breath before diving back in and finding new, exciting ways to make 2011 even better. Of course, iD Tech doesn’t really stop &#8211; <a href="http://www.internaldrive.com/year-round-learning/">iD 365</a> is active all year round and is an awesome way to keep the iD spirit alive while waiting for summer to finally reappear.</p>
<p>While all of the other folks at iD are catching up on their much needed beauty sleep (ahem&#8230; Josh!), I figured it was prime time to take over the blog and fill it with some of the incredible stuff that happened this summer across the world of iD. There&#8217;s so much to cram in that I&#8217;ll have several posts over the coming week covering Nachos, iDX and new games!</p>
<p>All of our camps are connected via an active online community in order to share ideas, stories, advice and concerns to help make every camp better. The more we share, the more we learn and the better everyone does their jobs. Luckily for me, there is an entire Forum based solely around Nachos,<a href="http://www.internaldrive.com/2010/06/14/nacho-man/"> a staff incentive program</a> that encourages staffers to go above and beyond in their work. This online gathering place gives me a window into the amazing job our staff does every day.</p>
<p>Anyway, here&#8217;s a breakdown of the some of the cooler Nacho submissions we had during the summer:</p>
<p><strong>The Drill Sergeant</strong><br />
<div id="attachment_32604" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84DGAnQsDFc"><img src="http://www.internaldrive.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Screen-shot-2010-09-01-at-7.56.31-PM.png" alt="Rocky from Columbia starting his Nacho quest." width="300" height="295" class="size-full wp-image-32604" title="Screen shot 2010 09 01 at 7.56.31 PM" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Rocky from Columbia starting his Nacho quest.</p></div><br />
This training-only Nacho was given out for starting a random chant during lunch at one of the trainings. Matt (aka Rocky) from Columbia University (of whom I will mention a bunch of times) submitted <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84DGAnQsDFc">this video</a> of his table starting their 2010 Nacho hunt.</p>
<p><strong>The Mad Hatter</strong><br />
<div id="attachment_32605" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 310px"><img src="http://www.internaldrive.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Screen-shot-2010-09-01-at-8.01.09-PM-300x190.png" alt="Sacred Heart scores big with a Wacky Hat Day!" width="300" height="190" class="size-medium wp-image-32605" title="Screen shot 2010 09 01 at 8.01.09 PM 300x190" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Sacred Heart scores big with a Wacky Hat Day!</p></div><br />
The gang at Sacred Heart University scored tons of Nachos this season. One of the first submissions was this shot from Wacky Hat Day, earning them the Mad Hatter.<br />
<div id="attachment_32606" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 203px"><img src="http://www.internaldrive.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Screen-shot-2010-09-01-at-8.04.15-PM-193x300.png" alt="Princeton rocks with this amazing Wacky Hat design!" width="193" height="300" class="size-medium wp-image-32606" title="Screen shot 2010 09 01 at 8.04.15 PM 193x300" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Princeton rocks with this amazing Wacky Hat design!</p></div><br />
Not to be outdone, Princeton had a Wacky Hat Day of their own with too many hats to post! This particular submission, however, really beamed of iD pride!</p>
<p><strong>The Michael Cotter</strong><br />
<div id="attachment_32608" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AyoTxc_i0Uc"><img src="http://www.internaldrive.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Screen-shot-2010-09-01-at-8.10.02-PM-300x221.png" alt="iD Vassar shows some High-5 skills!" width="300" height="221" class="size-medium wp-image-32608" title="Screen shot 2010 09 01 at 8.10.02 PM 300x221" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">iD Vassar shows some High-5 skills!</p></div><br />
iD Vassar claimed a ton of Nachos this summer &#8211; one requiring the simple task of High-5&#8242;ing all of camp. Check it out!</p>
<p><strong>The Scripps</strong><br />
One of my very favorite Nachos, we had a bunch of attempts from all over the country!<br />
<div id="attachment_32609" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 310px"><img src="http://www.internaldrive.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Screen-shot-2010-09-01-at-8.13.17-PM-300x131.png" alt="iD Vassar showing off their spelling skills." width="300" height="131" class="size-medium wp-image-32609" title="Screen shot 2010 09 01 at 8.13.17 PM 300x131" /><p class="wp-caption-text">iD Vassar showing off their spelling skills.</p></div><br />

<strong>You&#8217;ve Been Served</strong><br />
There was a bit of a Nacho rivalry this summer between St. Mary&#8217;s University and Purdue. One of the highlights of their battle for Nacho superiority was the attempt that each had to out &#8220;serve&#8221; one another on the dance floor. I&#8217;m not quite sure who won&#8230;?<br />
<div id="attachment_32612" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.neilmerchant.com/files/iD%20Tech%20Videos/Summer%202010/breakdance.MP4"><img src="http://www.internaldrive.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Screen-shot-2010-09-01-at-8.23.35-PM-300x177.png" alt="Purdue serving up some old-school breakdancing..." width="300" height="177" class="size-medium wp-image-32612" title="Screen shot 2010 09 01 at 8.23.35 PM 300x177" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Purdue serving up some old-school breakdancing...</p></div><br />
<div id="attachment_32613" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 310px"><img src="http://www.internaldrive.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Screen-shot-2010-09-01-at-8.21.08-PM-300x193.png" alt="St. Mary&#39;s showing the world their dance skills." width="300" height="193" class="size-medium wp-image-32613" title="Screen shot 2010 09 01 at 8.21.08 PM 300x193" /><p class="wp-caption-text">St. Mary's showing the world their dance skills.</p></div></p>
<p>Stay tuned for more Nacho highlights! w00t!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- google_ad_section_start --><p><strong>iD Tech Camps</strong> has this incredible incentive program for the Staff called <strong>Nachos </strong>(I find them particularly incredible because my friend <strong>Bryan</strong> and I invented them!)</p>
<p>These cool little badges are given for going <em>above and beyond</em> during activity time, <em>completing difficult objectives</em> and <em>making camp a better place</em>. I had the pleasure of introducing the Nacho program at two of the three trainings that were held in 2010.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.internaldrive.com/locations/il-summer-camps-illinois-computer-camps/lake-forest-college-chicago-area/" target="_blank">Lake Forest</a> and <a href="http://www.internaldrive.com/locations/pa-summer-camps-pennsylvania-computer-camps/villanova-university-philadelphia/" target="_blank">Villanova</a> trainings were <em>amazing</em>!</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-31844" src="http://www.internaldrive.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/The-Second-Easiest-Nacho-in-the-Book.png" alt="The Second Easiest Nacho in the Book" width="120" height="120" title="The Second Easiest Nacho in the Book" /></p>
<p>Between the two of them, hundreds of training-only Nachos were distributed. Some, like &#8220;<em>The Second Easiest Nacho in the Book</em>,&#8221; is pretty simple. The Staff member simply needs to attend the Camp Culture seminar &#8211; a required event!</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-31845" src="http://www.internaldrive.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/The-Drill-Sergeant.png" alt="The Drill Sergeant" width="120" height="120" title="The Drill Sergeant" /><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-31846" src="http://www.internaldrive.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/The-Night-Owl.png" alt="The Night Owl Nacho" width="120" height="120" title="The Night Owl" /></p>
<p>Others can be a little more difficult. &#8220;<em>The Drill Sergeant</em>&#8221; requires a Staff member to recite a chant during lunch on tape and &#8220;<em>The Night Owl</em>&#8221; is given to anyone that participates in the voluntary evening activity session (we had about 150 participants altogether!) Only about 8 or so Staff from both locations managed to earn and claim *all* of the training Nachos, earning them the prestigious &#8220;<em>Train the Trainer</em>&#8221; award. We did have an excellent time and I wish I could have stayed longer to play more games (but, of course, the dark got the better of me!)</p>
<p>The Nacho program is in full swing at camps across the country. We&#8217;ve been giving out about 20 &#8211; 30 Nachos a day &#8211; and that number is only going to get higher as more camps start the season. This means that the user profiles of many of the iD Tech Staff members are filling up with neat little award icons, the more the better!</p>
<p>We just finished up a contest to create two brand new Nachos for this summer. The winners were:</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-31842" src="http://www.internaldrive.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Mascot-150x150.png" alt="The Mascot Nacho" width="150" height="150" title="Mascot 150x150" /></p>
<p>&#8220;<em>The Mascot</em>&#8221; (submitted by Medium Rare) &#8211; Create a local Camp Mascot and make a movie with the mascot including at least five excited campers, then post it to the forums.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-31843" src="http://www.internaldrive.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/TheBattlefield-150x150.png" alt="The Battlefield Nacho" width="150" height="150" title="TheBattlefield 150x150" /></p>
<p>&#8220;<em>The Battlefield</em>&#8221; (also submitted by Medium Rare!) &#8211; Organize a cross-camp gaming night with another camp on the nVidia Servers! Post the end-of-game scoreboard at both camps and on the Forums. Both of these additions encourage camps to go above and beyond in their programming, whether as a fun goofy afternoon activity or a collaborative nighttime event.</p>
<p><em>Medium Rare </em>(surprisingly, that&#8217;s not his real name) gets &#8220;<em>The Bender Bending Rodriguez</em>&#8221; Platinum nacho for winning the contest; a major addition to his profile.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-31847" src="http://www.internaldrive.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/The-King-Hippo-Nacho.png" alt="The King Hippo Nacho" width="120" height="120" title="The King Hippo Nacho" /></p>
<p>We hope that multiple staff members can meet the challenge this summer and earn &#8220;<em>The King Hippo</em>&#8221; Platinum nacho for getting more than 62 nachos, which happened to be the record last year. I&#8217;m pretty sure we can make it, because iD is not just a summer camp for teens and pre-teens that teaches <a href="http://www.internaldrive.com/courses-programs/video-game-camps/" target="_blank">video game courses</a> or <a href="http://www.internaldrive.com/courses-programs/digital-video-courses/" target="_blank">film-making</a>; It&#8217;s a camp that teaches about the power of collaboration, positive social skills and the benefits of going above and beyond to <em>do something big</em>!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- google_ad_section_start --><p>I issued a challenge to Bryan: <strong>Create or break a world record</strong>.</p>
<p>This challenge was not taken lightly &#8211; but I will get to that momentarily. Bryan accomplished his task and then reissued the same challenge to me: <strong>Create or break a world record</strong>.</p>
<p>Ladies and gentlemen, I give you a world record breaking blog post &#8211; &#8220;The Most Links in a Blog Post on <a href="http://www.internaldrive.com" target="_blank">InternalDrive.com</a> that Lead Back to <a href="http://www.internaldrive.com">InternalDrive.com </a>Without Getting Too Off-Topic&#8221;</p>
<p>This summer, we are issuing the same challenge to all of <a href="http://www.internaldrive.com/" target="_blank">iD Tech Camp</a> locations through a new program called iDX with a little help from the <a href="http://urdb.org/" target="_blank">Universal Record Database</a>.</p>
<p>iDX is a competition between four teams that spreads across all <a href="http://www.internaldrive.com/locations/" target="_blank">iD Tech Camp locations</a>. Teams are made up of <a href="http://www.internaldrive.com/locations/" target="_blank">several individual camps</a> (mainly centered around a large region) that work together to score points by completing various specific challenges set forth by the iDX administrators (Bryan and <a href="http://www.internaldrive.com/author/pete-v/" target="_blank">I</a>). Many of these tasks have to do with creating or breaking records and each has a value (or bounty) of 1 &#8211; 10 points.</p>
<p>For instance, one of our <a href="http://www.internaldrive.com/locations/fl-summer-camps-florida-computer-camps/" target="_blank">Florida summer camps</a>, such as <a href="http://www.internaldrive.com/locations/fl-summer-camps-florida-computer-camps/rollins-college-orlando-camp/" target="_blank">Rollins College</a>, could get everyone at camp to sign the same sheet of paper. This task would earn the <span style="color: #000080">BLUE</span> team 1 point. The other <a href="http://www.internaldrive.com/locations/fl-summer-camps-florida-computer-camps/" target="_blank">Florida summer camp</a>, namely <a href="http://www.internaldrive.com/locations/fl-summer-camps-florida-computer-camps/university-of-miami/" target="_blank">University of Miami</a>, could then complete the same task for a second point for the <span style="color: #000080">BLUE</span> team. An <a href="http://www.internaldrive.com/locations/il-summer-camps-illinois-computer-camps/" target="_blank">Illinois summer camp</a>, such as <a href="http://www.internaldrive.com/locations/il-summer-camps-illinois-computer-camps/lake-forest-college-chicago-area/" target="_blank">Lake Forest College</a>, can tape everyone at camp high-5ing 10 different people which would score the <span style="color: #800000">RED</span> team 2 points. Each week we tally the scores and share the statistics on which team is leading for the summer, for the previous week and which camp has scored the most iDX points.</p>
<p>The higher point challenges is where the record breaking begins! An <a href="http://www.internaldrive.com/locations/ca-summer-camps-california-computer-camps/" target="_blank">Orange County California summer camp</a>, namely <a href="http://www.internaldrive.com/locations/ca-summer-camps-california-computer-camps/uc-irvine-orange-county-ca-camp/" target="_blank">UC Irvine</a>, could get 8 points for the <span style="color: #808000">YELLOW</span> team by performing the difficult &#8220;Group Soccer Juggle 2&#8243; task, where at least 20 Campers need to keep a soccer ball in the air for 5 minutes or 300 taps by juggling with their feet. If their video is accepted by the <a href="http://urdb.org/" target="_blank">URDB</a> as a world record setting performance, that point score is doubled!</p>
<p>We are really excited about iDX this year because it adds some competition and cooperation between all <a href="http://www.internaldrive.com" target="_blank">iD Tech Camps</a>. Campers are used to competing against other camps in our <a href="http://www.internaldrive.com/why-id/summer-fun-at-our-teen-summer-camps-and-gaming-camps/" target="_blank">video game tournaments</a> but now there is another outlet to dominate! I will keep everyone posted on the iDX highlights from <a href="http://www.internaldrive.com/blog-news/" target="_blank">this blog</a> and especially call out any new records set by iD Tech Campers or <a href="http://www.internaldrive.com/why-id/our-people/" target="_blank">staff</a>.</p>
<p>And, as promised, here&#8217;s Bryan&#8217;s record breaking performance: &#8220;<a href="http://urdb.org/Content/RecordDetail.aspx?id=1600&amp;attempt=3005" target="_blank">Longest Time To Keep An American Quarter Balanced On Spinning Coat Hanger</a>&#8221;</p>
<p>From <a href="http://urdb.org/Content/RecordDetail.aspx?id=1600&amp;attempt=3005" target="_blank">URDB</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>Bryan Vitale placed an American quarter on the tip of a bent metal coat hanger and spun it for 2 minutes, 56.20 seconds.</p>
<p>CRITERIA TO BEAT RECORD:</p>
<p>- must use a standard coat hanger bent in a diamond shape</p>
<p>- must place/balance an American quarter on tip of hanger</p>
<p>- timing begins when first spin starts</p>
<p>- no adhesives are allowed to keep quarter on hanger</p></blockquote>
<p>And for future reference, I linked to <a href="http://www.internaldrive.com" target="_blank">InternalDrive.com</a> 19 times in this blog post &#8211; <strong>setting the current record</strong>!!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- google_ad_section_start --><p>What are your kids doing while out of school for spring break?  Well, there are fifty kids having a great time in Santa Clara, CA, learning a variety of computer technologies this week.  These kids are creating video games, building websites, learning graphic design skills, exploring digital photography techniques, and much more.  Rather than playing video games at home, some of these kids are creating their own.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.internaldrive.com" target="_blank">iD Tech Camps</a>, North America’s #1 technology camp, is conducting our 3rd season of a special one week <a href="http://www.internaldrive.com/beta-camp/" target="_blank">Spring Break Beta Camp</a> program at <a href="http://www.doncallejon.org/" target="_blank">Don Callejon School in Santa Clara</a>. Students between the ages of 7-17 are getting a sneak peak at some of our <a href="http://www.internaldrive.com/courses-programs/" target="_blank">courses</a> at a fraction of our regular tuition. We have twelve staff encouraging and teaching these fifty students to express themselves creatively, all while making sure they have a lot of fun.  That is an average of four students per instructor providing customized instruction delivered by highly trained adult staff.</p>
<p>We have selected Santa Clara Unified School District to host our spring break computer camps at the <a href="http://www.doncallejon.org/" target="_blank">Don Callejon School</a> because, like iD Tech Camps, it is dedicated to enriching the lives of its students through the pursuit of advanced technology skills. The students at our spring break kids camp participate in smaller than average classes to test curriculum content and software applications. The result of this kind of “beta test” allows iD Tech Camps to execute the <a href="http://www.internaldrive.com/why-id/the-id-difference-the-premier-computer-camp-in-the-summer-camp-industry/" target="_blank">best summer technology program</a> in the nation. Looking for a day or overnight camp at one of our other summer camp locations? <a href="http://www.internaldrive.com/locations/" target="_blank">Click here.</a></p>
<p>One of our experienced year-round Regional Managers, Keri Callison, has been planning this event for months.  “I am so excited about this one-of-a-kind program.  We have been working hard to prepare a robust set of courses that these kids are really enjoying.  It’s been real fun to find that one of our new courses for 2010, <em><a href="http://www.internaldrive.com/courses-programs/id-tech-summer-computer-camps/learn-digital-photography-photoshop-course/" target="_blank">Digital Photography &amp; Photoshop</a>, </em>is a big hit.  What we are learning this week will translate directly to all our camps nationwide this summer making this our best summer yet.”</p>

<p>Leading the iD crew is Abhishek Kasturi; one of our most experienced <a href="http://www.internaldrive.com/why-id/our-people/" target="_blank">iD Tech Camps staff members</a>.  Abhishek has worked at our Stanford and UC Berkeley camps every summer since 2006.  Abhishek is a senior at San Jose State University, with a major in Electrical Engineering and minors in Mathematics and Physics.  He enjoys playing guitar, listening to classic rock music and working with computers. Originally from India, he now lives in California, and has for the past ten years. He enjoys traveling and has lived in places like Malaysia, Singapore and Canada.</p>

<div id="attachment_31248" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 210px"><img class="size-full wp-image-31248" src="http://www.internaldrive.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Screen-shot-2010-04-04-at-10.57.50-PM.png" alt="Screenshot showing the title screen of Pac-Man" width="200" height="122" title="Screen shot 2010 04 04 at 10.57.50 PM" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Screenshot showing the title screen of Pac-Man</p></div>
<h1>The Ghosts of Pacman</h1>
<p>Shadow, Speedy, Bashful and Pokey, from the <em>Pac-Man</em> series, would have lived a very different life had they attended iD Tech Camp.</p>
<p>These ghosts that wander aimlessly around a series of hallways protecting their Pac-dots, power pellets, fruit and pretzels from the seemingly endless hunger of a floating head.</p>
<p>The reason for their failure? No professional photography skills!</p>
<p>The ghosts, more commonly referred to by their nicknames Blinky, Pinky, Inky and Clyde, were living in near poverty before being confined to the endless maze. Their only hope, a classified ad in the newspaper, turned out to be the worst security job ever conceived. The endless appetite of their nemesis not only compromises the goods that they are sworn to protect, but the very makeup of their physical being.</p>
<p>The iD Tech Camp <a href="http://www.internaldrive.com/film/instruction-in-this-filmmaking-camps-and-digital-video-summer-camps/professional-digital-photography-course/" target="_blank">Professional Photography</a> course at the <a href="http://www.internaldrive.com/film/" target="_blank">iD Visual Arts Academy</a> teaches how to get the most out of your Digital SLR camera and how to manipulate your photos with Adobe Photoshop &amp; Lightroom. The ghosts could have started a journey toward developing the skills it takes to be professional wedding photographers and never get trapped in a literally dead-end career!</p>
<div id="attachment_31250" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 287px"><img class="size-full wp-image-31250" src="http://www.internaldrive.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Screen-shot-2010-04-04-at-10.56.46-PM.png" alt="Promotional illustration of the character drawn by Bengus for Super Street Fighter II Turbo" width="277" height="320" title="Screen shot 2010 04 04 at 10.56.46 PM" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Promotional illustration of the character drawn by Bengus for Super Street Fighter II Turbo</p></div>
<h1>M. Bison</h1>
<p>M. Bison, from the <em>Street Fighter</em> series, would have lived a very different life had he attended iD Tech Camp.</p>
<p>This overly ambitious leader of the Shadaloo crime syndicate hosts a fighting tournament that, despite appearing last in a long line of qualified fighters, he historically loses.</p>
<p>The reason for his failure? No 3D modeling skills!</p>
<p>M. Bison runs a worldwide terrorist organization and yearns to be a world dictator. His goals are universally scoffed for his ultimately 2-dimensional existence. Whether focusing on the clichéd &#8220;gang leader&#8221; storyline of his life, the overly corny and convenient connections between him and his seemingly random group of fighters or his absurd outfit, M. Bison&#8217;s character is anything but complex. Moreover, he is almost always literally 2D.</p>
<p>The iD Tech Camp <a href="http://www.internaldrive.com/courses-programs/id-tech-summer-computer-camps/3d-modeling-and-video-game-design-camps-with-maya-at-our-teen-summer-camps/" target="_blank">Maya &#8211; 3D Modeling and Animation</a> teaches the fundamentals of creating complex 3D sculptures using the same software as major game designers and filmmakers. In addition, the multitude of summer activities offered at the day camps and overnight camps encourage building positive social skills such as teamwork. M. Bison could have changed his perspective and dimensionality by broadening his creative horizons and actually developing a true character.</p>

<h1>Dr. Robotnik</h1>
<p>Dr. Robotnik, from the <em>Sonic the Hedgehog</em> series of video games, would have lived a very different life had he attended iD Tech Camp.</p>
<p>Despite being a genius and a supposed authority on robotics, his plans of world domination are constantly thwarted by a speedy, yet tiny, nocturnal mammal.</p>
<p>The reason for his failure? Weak programming skills!</p>
<p>Dr. Robotnik, or Ivo to his friends, may have a knack for building robots that shoot lasers and capture critters, but they have limited movements or abilities. The common creations simply move back and forth on a platform &#8211; hardly sophisticated for a genius of that caliber. Projectiles often have no tracking capability and constantly fire, which must cost a fortune in wasted ammo. Even his metallic hovering machines are more on rails than actual transportation devices.</p>
<p>The iD Tech Camp <a href="http://www.internaldrive.com/robocontendersbuild-robots-at-our-summer-robotics-camp-for-kids-and-teens/" target="_blank">RoboContenders</a> class uses the <a href="http://www.vexrobotics.com/" target="_blank">Vex Robotics Design System</a>, which is capable of much more than back and forth, movement! These programmable systems have limitless capabilities in both hardware creation and programming. While Ivo was able to make highly technical electronic devices, the microprocessors were as weak as a string of cheap Christmas lights. The Vex system has the whole package and he would learn that a robot, no matter how cool looking, is only as strong as it&#8217;s software!</p>
<p>(The Vex Robotics Design System was even tested by the <a href="http://www.botmag.com/articles/mythbusters_test_the_vex_robotics_design_system_3.shtml" target="_blank">MythBusters</a>!)</p>

<h1>Ganon</h1>
<p>Ganon, from the <em>Legend of Zelda</em> series, would have lived a very different life had he attended iD Tech Camp.</p>
<p>This evil sorcerer that derives much of his magic from the sacred Triforce of Power is essentially immortal yet is repeatedly defeated by a small and weak young man.</p>
<p>The reason for his failures? No web design skills!</p>
<p>Ganon, or Ganondorf to some, is constantly hiring henchmen to place between him and his adversaries. These drones are mostly successful &#8211; until they meet the strong-willed Link. No matter what puzzle they create or barriers they erect, this &#8220;hero&#8221; always finds a way to infiltrate Ganon&#8217;s hideout. Many of the obstacles are non-intelligent beings, such as bats or strange spiny things, but some should be able to use their brain instead of simply allowing Link to hide behind a rock firing unlimited arrows.</p>
<p>The iD Tech Camp <a href="http://www.internaldrive.com/courses-programs/id-tech-summer-computer-camps/learn-web-design-and-flash-animation-at-our-summer-camps-and-web-design-camps/" target="_blank">Web Design and Flash Animation Course</a> teaches students to create a content-rich page limited only by their imagination. Ganon could make a recruitment site to grab only the best and brightest sidekicks the world has to offer &#8211; and finally enjoy the unlimited power of darkness that he desires.</p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size: medium"> </span></strong></p>

<h1>Bowser</h1>
<p>Bowser, from the <em>Super Mario Bros</em>. series, would have lived a very different life had he attended iD Tech Camp.</p>
<p>The evil reptilian bad guy is known for kidnapping the same princess again and again, only to be foiled by a plumber and his goofy-looking brother.</p>
<p>The reason for his failure? No video editing or special effects skills!</p>
<p>Bowser and his endless array of cronies constantly attempt the same deed and cannot seem to catch a break. Throughout every ordeal, Bowser remains absurdly patient, many times laughing in his foes face and floating away on some crazy flying machine. Any other villain may stick around and fight when they see an adversary, but he insists on watching as his entire kingdom crumbles under the annoyingly persistent fists of the plumbers. The sad truth is that Bowser never even considered an alternative to kidnapping!</p>
<p>The iD Tech Camp <a href="http://www.internaldrive.com/courses-programs/id-tech-summer-computer-camps/digital-video-editing-camps-for-kids-and-teens/" target="_blank">Video Editing and Special Effects</a> class allows students to cut professional footage, create their own movies and learn how to use Final Cut Studio, Adobe After Effects and Photoshop. Bowser should have simply learned early how to become a film director and thrust all of his energy toward that profession. Eventually, he could produce a made-for-TV movie about his life struggles and (perhaps) win the princess&#8217;s sympathy and love.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- google_ad_section_start --><p>There are numerous programs in the country focused on encouraging girls’ interest in technology, math and science.  Yet, boys still gravitate in greater numbers to these interests.  There are many reasons and theories out there as to why such a discrepancy exists between boys and girls.  You could read for days on the topic.  Whatever the factors, there are many girls who are interested in these areas.  So, how do we serve their needs?</p>
<p>Over the past twelve years, <a href="http://www.internaldrive.com/" target="_blank">iD Tech Camps</a> has been paying attention to what girls attending our youth summer technology camps want to learn.  The best way to know what girls want is to ask them.  In general, they are interested in being able to create something or to express their curiosity in a topic.  Maybe they want to design a fashion line and launch their own online store.  Maybe they care about animals and what to tell others how best to care for them.  Or, maybe they want to design a game that takes their players on a journey through a new land.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-31141" src="http://www.internaldrive.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Girls-at-camp.JPG" alt="Girls at camp" width="400" height="242" title="" /></p>
<p>We design our <a href="http://www.internaldrive.com/courses-programs/" target="_blank">technology curriculum</a> around serving the interests of both boys and girls.  They can attend the same course, yet, take their projects in totally different directions.  That’s what customized instruction offers – the ability to mentor each student.  At our camps, we are lucky that 30% of our <a href="http://www.internaldrive.com/why-id/our-people/" target="_blank">instructors</a> nationally are women.  Many of those women came to camp and now want to encourage other girls in technology.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- google_ad_section_start --><p><strong>(the other) Pete</strong> here, buried neck-deep in new activity development for the Summer of 2010 at iD Tech Camps! I have been hard at work on several projects to enhance the fun-factor and culture of all 70 or so camps, including my attempt to create iPhone apps for our Activity Curriculum. In case anyone is wondering, programming for the iPhone from scratch is pretty complicated – which is why I really wish I could simply take the <a title="iPhone App Development at iD Tech Summer Camps" href="http://www.internaldrive.com/programming/instruction/iphone-app-development-course/" target="_blank">iD course this Summer</a> instead of hacking away on my own… but I digress!</p>
<p>I have been mistaken for an Activity Expert, but I have always believed that I’m an <em>Experience</em> Expert. The difference is that while I do know a good deal of games and events that our Staff can facilitate, I prefer having the ideas come from within. Games and activities that are generated by our Staff are genuine, unique and encourage greater buy-in from the Campers. Homebrew events are not easy to encourage and execute because many times they require preparation and some level of testing. My goal, therefore, is to create tools and templates for game and activity creation to be as simple as possible.</p>
<p>The 2009 Activity Curriculum featured an entire section on how to create new games, which is where many of the field games inspired by video games began. We created a step-by-step process that detailed the different pieces of a successful game (along with some industry secrets) and enabled our Staff to fully customize the activities to suit their camp needs. Our Nacho Incentive Program that was directed at the Staff encouraged creation and sharing of games throughout the whole iD Tech community – from our <a title="iD Tech Connecticut Summer Camps" href="http://www.internaldrive.com/locations/ct-summer-camps-connecticut-computer-camps/" target="_blank">Connecticut summer camps</a> to our <a title="iD Tech Summer Camps in California" href="http://www.internaldrive.com/locations/ca-summer-camps-california-computer-camps/" target="_blank">summer camps in CA</a>!</p>
<p>Another incentive encouraged the Staff to create a new version of Rock Paper Scissors for their camp. We thought that we would only get a handful of variations – but boy, were we wrong!</p>
<div><strong><span style="font-size: medium"><span style="color: #7bce2c">RPS DEFINED</span></span></strong></div>
<p><strong>Rock Paper Scissors</strong> is the foundation to many gaming interactions. The concept that Rock beats Scissors beats Paper beats Rock, appears in many popular games, both virtual and real. Football, for instance, matches two sets of plays, an offense and a defense. Depending on the choice of the opponents, the advantage will shift from one side to another. The showdown between a pitcher and a batter in Baseball follows the same pattern. Choices dictate success or failure. While other factors inform these choices, such as picking up details in the formation of the other side or watching for the turn of the baseball, the concept of making a choice based on as much information as you have available is consistant with RPS.</p>
<div><strong>American RPS</strong> involves two players that repeat aloud, “Rock Paper Scissors, SHOOT!” while hitting one fist onto an open palm for for each beat. The fourth beat, or “SHOOT,” is the moment they flash one of the three symbols:</div>
<p><strong>ROCK</strong></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.internaldrive.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/1_ROCK.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-30935" src="http://www.internaldrive.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/1_ROCK.jpg" alt="1 ROCK Boulder Parchment Hedgeclippers" width="120" height="145" title="1 ROCK" /></a></strong></p>
<p><strong>PAPER</strong></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.internaldrive.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/1_PAPER.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-30936" src="http://www.internaldrive.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/1_PAPER.jpg" alt="1 PAPER Boulder Parchment Hedgeclippers" width="120" height="148" title="1 PAPER" /></a></strong></p>
<p><strong>SCISSORS</strong></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.internaldrive.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/1_SCISSORS.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-30937" src="http://www.internaldrive.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/1_SCISSORS.jpg" alt="1 SCISSORS Boulder Parchment Hedgeclippers" width="120" height="157" title="1 SCISSORS" /></a></strong></p>
<p>Many RPS players believe that the game is based completely on luck, while others seem to win more than half of the time. Another gaming concept emerges, which is that of identifying patterns. Humans are relatively rotten at randomization – rather, humans playing RPS are rotten at randomization because they believe they have a strategy. If one is playing to win, they attempt to incorporate a strategy that will inform their choices, based on the perceived choices of the opponent. Let’s look at an example:</p>
<div><strong>Round 1</strong>:</div>
<div>Pete – <strong>Rock</strong></div>
<div>Bryan – <strong>Rock</strong></div>
<div>Result: <span style="color: #7bce2c"><strong>TIE</strong></span></div>
<p><em>What are the players thinking after this round? Neither player is going to play Scissors next, because they believe that Rock will be played again (a common move). Of course, if Rock is played again, then one must play Paper to win. Taking that a step further, if one player goes as far as Paper, the other may want to play Scissors – which leads to Round 2…</em></p>
<div><strong>Round 2</strong>:</div>
<div>Pete – <strong>Rock</strong></div>
<div>Bryan – <strong>Rock</strong></div>
<div>Result: <strong><span style="color: #7bce2c">TIE</span></strong></div>
<p><em>Each player thought that they outsmarted the other. Now the fun begins. Three of the same symbol in a row is generally unlikely, or so many players will believe. That makes Rock the least likely symbol for either to throw – meaning that the logical play is Scissors. But wait – the logical play is to do the unexpected, which is another Rock play. Each player at this point has to make a choice based on the pattern that they observe. There is no randomness to the symbol that they choose, instead a calculated decision based on the information they have available.</em></p>
<div><strong>Round 3</strong>:</div>
<div>Pete – <strong>Rock</strong></div>
<div>Bryan – <strong>Paper</strong></div>
<div>Result: Bryan <strong><span style="color: #7bce2c">WINS</span></strong></div>
<p><em>Round 3 ends the game in a dramatic fashion. Pete believes that the least likely play is Rock, which means that Bryan will likely play Scissors. This logic is based on the thought that Bryan also knows that Rock is unlikely to be played. Pete’s strategy is that Bryan, as an experienced player, will deduce that Pete is going to play Paper to defeat the unlikely Rock. The truth is that Bryan knows that Pete loves repeating the same symbol and doesn’t overthink it, leading to his victory.</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- google_ad_section_start --><p>The <a href="http://www.vancouver2010.com/">2010 Winter Olympics</a> are into their second week of competition in <a href="../../../../../locations/canada-summer-camps-canada-computer-camps/university-of-british-columbia/">Vancouver, British Columbia</a>.  Each time the games roll around, I am amazed at how technology has enriched my experience of the Olympics over the years.  The modern Winter Olympic Games started back in 1924 in Chamonix, France.  The original members of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) could have no concept of how far these games would come in a century.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-30801" src="http://www.internaldrive.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Chamonix19242-e1267055787143.jpg" alt="Chamonix19242 e1267055787143 Technology Enhances Olympic Games Experience" width="200" height="134" title="Chamonix19242 e1267055787143" /></p>

</em></p>
<p><em>2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada</em></p>
<p><a href="http://www.internaldrive.com/courses-programs/">Cutting-edge</a> technologies play a part in every aspect of these games, from the first torch relay hand-off to the closing ceremonies. There are so many behind the scenes stories of how creative thinkers adapt existing computer technologies to gain a competitive advantage.  Athletes and trainers use technology in preparing for the games to optimize their training.  Sports equipment manufacturers use design technology to build improved apparatus, gear and more that will enable their clients to deliver a high level performance.  Broadcasters use technology to better inform viewers of all aspects of the events.  Everyone involved is looking for technologic tools they can use to give them the competitive advantage to get on the podium.</p>
<p>Technology allows us to more fully appreciate everything about the competition and the athletes who commit their lives to fulfill their dreams.  At internalDrive, we are proud to be laying a foundation for young people at our summer camps to explore computer technology and find ways they can express their dreams. We have kids and teens learning about and creating computer-generated projects that amaze us.  We’ve been doing this for eleven seasons now and we continue to be impressed by what our campers accomplish in just a week or two of summer learning.</p>
<p>Whether a student chooses to learn filmmaking, digital photography, programming, modeling or 3D animation, they could be taking that first step towards their own professional goals – perhaps even in a future Olympic Games event.  Here is a sample of the courses offered at our computer camps and teen academies across North America.  Perhaps your son or daughter can jumpstart their dreams with us!</p>

<p>It is inspiring to see athletes who break through previously attained heights in speed, technique, style and spirit.  There is no doubt that the Winter and Summer Olympic Games will continue to be influenced and enhanced by the use of computer technology in preparation for and during the events.  It’s the way of the world.  And as they say, “The World comes to these games.”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- google_ad_section_start --><p>Hey All &#8211; it is I, (the other) Pete once more with a glorious food craft!</p>
<p>Now, I know that I normally blog about activities that are happening at iD, but I wanted to share these cool iDeas for the BIG GAME!</p>
<p>Football is not a sport that we normally play at iD during the summer, but aspiring game designers can learn a great deal from observing this popular sport. Because we are, in part, a game creation camp, I love to have discussions with the teens about how they can learn to design a fully functioning, high quality experience. Also, I believe that any opportunity can be turned into a learning opportunity!</p>
<p>Football has risk and reward, a fundamental concept for all gaming. Should they kick or go for it on the fourth down? Strategy plays a huge role as well &#8211; in fact, matching the opponent&#8217;s play is almost equivalent to picking Rock, Paper or Scissors. Another major component is the clock &#8211; 2 minute drills reinforce the importance of resource management, as well as the challenge flag.</p>
<p>We constantly find teachable moments at our overnight summer camps &#8211; and here&#8217;s a delicious moment that you can make this weekend, courtesy of Bryan and I!</p>
<p>NOTE: These crafts require some cooking, sharp objects and marshmallows. Please get a parent / guardian to observe / give permission FIRST. Thank you.</p>
