A Perfect Virtual Tech Camp In A COVID-19 World

by Totally Tash1 Comment on A Perfect Virtual Tech Camp In A COVID-19 World

Let’s get real. Our kids have already been out of the classroom for over a month, and it seems like all they want to do is play online video games… like Roblox. Now, what if I told you there is a way to turn their passion for online gaming into an engaging educational experience? Interested? Then you totally need to check out iD Tech’s Virtual Tech Camps!

iD Tech is currently offering weeklong Virtual Tech Camps for kids ages 7-19 in a variety of topics ranging from Roblox and Minecraft game design to Python and 3D Modeling. There is something for everyone’s interests. Plus, each camp has no more than 5 students, so our kids get a lot of attention, opportunities to ask questions and assistance with their projects as they go.

My oldest Siobhan loves coding and playing Roblox so you can imagine how excited I was when I discovered iD Tech’s Roblox Game Design course. Sign me (really her) up! And it is one of the best decisions I have made during quarantine. Siobhan LOVED it! She anxiously awaited her daily two hour class, was engaged the entire time, made new friends that she now plays Roblox with and learned so many cool Roblox coding skills. She has been creating Obbys (basically in-game obstacle courses as I understand it) and publishing them to the game. Meaning, as soon as she was done with her daily courses and assignments, her and her friends would go play the Obbys she created. How cool is that?!

As a mom, I have been looking at her creations and am in awe of everything she learned how to do, especially at 7. At the end of camp, they had all of the parents join the class so we could see everything our kids had been working on (though full disclosure… I peeked at her work daily. Shhhh) and had the opportunity to ask the instructor questions if we wanted to.

I asked Siobhan to describe the class in one word. She chose “amazing.” The only downside according to her is the class is already over and she is going to miss it. That is a sign of a great camp in my book.

The Perfect Facial Sprays For A Pandemic Panicked World

by Totally TashLeave a Comment on The Perfect Facial Sprays For A Pandemic Panicked World

Derma-E for the win with these Skin Beneficial Mood Enhancing Sprays! And with all the craziness going on in the world thanks to COVID-19, there’s never been a better time to turn to skincare products with aromatherapy included.

These sprays come in three different scents:

  1. Uplift: This one is my favorite. This one has Eleuthero & Artic Root, citrus waters, coconut essence and witch hazel and has almost a cinnamon-esque scent. It immediately uplifts my mood.
  2. Calm: This one is probably the most beneficial in a coronavirus world. With waves of emotion from everything going on in the world, I turn to this one to help calm my nerves.
  3. Create: This one may say create, but it also helps calm my nerves (probably thanks to the spearmint). And the calmer we are, the more likely we are to be able to create new ideas and things.

The best thing about all of these sprays? They are so refreshing on the skin! You should totally check them out at https://dermae.com/search?q=mood+mist
