The Austin WordPress Meetup has been hosting KidsCamp since 2011. We\u2019ve introduced kids to WordPress at official WordCamps, Scout meetings, and Boys and Girls Clubs. Kids love the simple to use, intuitive WordPress interface to publish their thoughts and interest online.  Some of our very first Campers have taken their early introduction to WordPress from a fun, interesting pastime to a livelihood that helped pay for college and the foundation of a successful career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think it is pretty safe to say that Annika\u2019s first KidsCamp in 2015 was all about spending time with her Dad, Toyin.  She enjoyed learning the types of things her Daddy did on his computers. She was full of questions that started with &#8220;How to.. and why.&#8221; &nbsp;One of our takeaways from that KidsCamp experience was it was easier for a child to learn WordPress with their parent&#8217;s help and continued encouragement.  Our other takeaway was to ask our KidCamp participants to think about what they want to write about before camp so they are ready to start building their ideas into websites during class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/2019.dfw.wordcamp.org\/files\/2019\/09\/2017-KidsCamp--1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"1567\" data-link=\"https:\/\/2019.dfw.wordcamp.org\/2017-kidscamp\/\" class=\"wp-image-1567\" \/><figcaption>KidsCamp 2017 \u2014 Annika came ready to write about the endangered animals of the rain forest<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/2019.dfw.wordcamp.org\/files\/2019\/09\/2017Annika-KidsCamp-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"1672\" data-link=\"https:\/\/2019.dfw.wordcamp.org\/?attachment_id=1672\" class=\"wp-image-1672\" \/><figcaption>&#8230;but consulted with Dad about site structure<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;During a WordPress KidsCamp, your child will learn WordPress basics, creating pages, creating and maintaining a blog, and building a site navigation structure. We will also discuss internet safety.  As much as we enjoy teaching valuable technical tools, KidsCamp Coaches have noticed kids improve their writing and communication skills simply because they were eager to share their thoughts with others.  Having their very own WordPress site gave them a sense of gravitas and offered them a new way to connect with others of like interests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Learning the basics of WordPress can not only help prepare your child for today&#8217;s fast-changing tech environment, but it might also inspire an entrepreneurial venture or two. Last year Annika built her first client site, but this year she approached her Dad with a Dropshipping idea, AnyDay Books &#8211; notebooks with custom-designed covers. Annika and Toyin worked on the design together and developed a beta product, This month Annika took delivery of her first books. With proof of concept, she and her Dad are onto their next step \u2014 to build Annika&#8217;s AnyDay branded dropshipped books into a business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:27px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/2019.dfw.wordcamp.org\/files\/2019\/09\/IMG_20190831_172217081-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"1676\" data-link=\"https:\/\/2019.dfw.wordcamp.org\/img_20190831_172217081\/\" class=\"wp-image-1676\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dfw.wordcamp.org\/2019\/files\/2019\/09\/IMG_20190831_172217081-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dfw.wordcamp.org\/2019\/files\/2019\/09\/IMG_20190831_172217081-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dfw.wordcamp.org\/2019\/files\/2019\/09\/IMG_20190831_172217081-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dfw.wordcamp.org\/2019\/files\/2019\/09\/IMG_20190831_172217081-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/dfw.wordcamp.org\/2019\/files\/2019\/09\/IMG_20190831_172217081-1000x750.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Opening the bete test book<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/2019.dfw.wordcamp.org\/files\/2019\/09\/IMG_20190831_172236842-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"1677\" data-link=\"https:\/\/2019.dfw.wordcamp.org\/img_20190831_172236842\/\" class=\"wp-image-1677\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dfw.wordcamp.org\/2019\/files\/2019\/09\/IMG_20190831_172236842-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dfw.wordcamp.org\/2019\/files\/2019\/09\/IMG_20190831_172236842-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dfw.wordcamp.org\/2019\/files\/2019\/09\/IMG_20190831_172236842-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dfw.wordcamp.org\/2019\/files\/2019\/09\/IMG_20190831_172236842-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/dfw.wordcamp.org\/2019\/files\/2019\/09\/IMG_20190831_172236842-1000x750.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Book design as specified<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/2019.dfw.wordcamp.org\/files\/2019\/09\/IMG_20190831_172242720-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"1678\" data-link=\"https:\/\/2019.dfw.wordcamp.org\/img_20190831_172242720\/\" class=\"wp-image-1678\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dfw.wordcamp.org\/2019\/files\/2019\/09\/IMG_20190831_172242720-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dfw.wordcamp.org\/2019\/files\/2019\/09\/IMG_20190831_172242720-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dfw.wordcamp.org\/2019\/files\/2019\/09\/IMG_20190831_172242720-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dfw.wordcamp.org\/2019\/files\/2019\/09\/IMG_20190831_172242720-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/dfw.wordcamp.org\/2019\/files\/2019\/09\/IMG_20190831_172242720-1000x750.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Matching pen<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Not every KidsCamper will be inspired to start their own business, but many entry-level jobs and occupations call for some WordPress experience.
