Google Summer Camp

Google India today has announced a fun new Summer with Google’ educational campaign for Kids. Google with this initiative is aiming to educate kids and make them spend more time learning in becoming responsible explorers of the Web.

Google says it has partnered with product leaders to bring a series of activities for parents that they can do along with their kids to make this a memorable a summer. It said that it will unveil one assignment every week for four weeks. The assignments range from exploring the country on Google Earth to saying gracias and por favor as you learn phrases in Spanish and other languages on Google Translate, creating your own gallery on Google Arts & Culture and ultimately building their very own app to share your summer experience.

Google says that each assignment will have questions on the four fundamental codes of being Internet Awesome and teach the young internet explorers a lesson or two on how to be Internet Smart, Internet Alert, Internet Strong, Internet Kind and Internet Brave. Right after the four weeks, it will host a Summer Camp at Google’s Gurgaon and Hyderabad campus where it will fly up to 100 participants along with their guardians from across the country.

Google has also partnered with “Kidzania” to set up the “Summer with Google” experience zone where children can take a virtual tour and learn about the essentials of being safe on the Internet. The assignment can be accessed from #SummerWithGoogle website and Google’s social media handles.

In a blog post, Sunita Mohanty, Director, Trust and Safety, Google India said:

As a parent myself, it has always been a challenge for me to engage my kids meaningfully, summer after summer. And the struggle is real for many more parents. Therefore, we partnered with our product leaders to bring parents, a series of activities they can do along with their kids to make this a memorable summer.
