For the last several months we’ve had a secret project here in the Sparks household. My wife, Daisy, has been working to bring App Camp for Girls to Orange County, California. Like most ventures of this nature, it already feels like we could make an epic movie about all the highs and lows we’ve experienced getting this far but I’m pleased to share the fact that App Camp for Girls Orange County is going to happen August 8-12, 2016. We now have a location and several volunteers ready to teach some lucky girls how to make their own apps. There are, however a few things we are looking for:

1. We Need Campers

Registration is now open and we need campers. Specifically, we’re looking for girls entering 8th or 9th grade in the fall.

2. We Need a Female User Interface Designer

I know there are some superbright female user interface designers out there in Southern California. We need one of you to volunteer to come in for an afternoon and teach the girls about user interface design. If that’s you, please reach out to the below contact information.

3. We Need Volunteers

We already have several people volunteering their time to help run the camp. We still need a few more. If you’re interested, the camp is going to be the week of August 8-12. Again, if that’s you, reach out to us below.

4. Funding

App Camp for Girls can always use an additional bit of funding. It is a registered nonprofit and donations are a great way to help out a good cause. You can learn more at the App Camp for Girls website right here.

If you would like to help out with any of the above items, you can email me or go straight to the boss.
