Welcome to Programmed to Know!
Redeemer's Grace Church invites all youth here in our local San Diego community to attend our first Youth Camp, with the exciting theme of "Programmed to Know." Join us as we learn about various engineering concepts through a high-level conceptual industry overview and a hands-on Arduino-based curriculum, developed by RGC's own team of engineers.
