HOMETOWN HERO: Local 12-year-old expands free camp teaching kids to build computers PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. (CBS12) — While some kids are spending their summer break playing on computers, one local 12-year-old is teaching other students how to build them from scratch. Heath Neer just hosted his second annual Kids Teaching Kids camp in Palm Beach Gardens. The rising 7th grader launched the program last year to bridge the gap for students in the community who don't have access to computers at home. This year, the free weeklong camp has grown from just five campers to 20. Heath has also enlisted four fellow classmates to help teach the curriculum. Inspired by his own passion for technology, Heath says he started the program to give other kids the tools he believes they'll need to succeed. “I just wanted to help out kids who aren't fortunate enough to actually have computers at home, because I just think this is a really important resource to have,” he says. With AI and everything, I think this is going to be super important in the future and if we, if kids, like my age don't have access to this, they'll probably never learn about any of this stuff.” His mission is to make technology education approachable, collaborative and engaging for kids of all backgrounds.

I’ve never built stuff in my life before, but I think when I get into middle school, I would like to do more of this.” Before building their own computers, campers learned about the different parts of a computer and how they work. They also explored the basics of AI. Heath says his goal is to keep growing the camp so any child who wants to learn about computers—and can't afford one—can come build one, take it home, and open the door to new opportunities.
