In our July issue, we wrote about kid entrepreneurs in the neighborhood and how they’re getting ahead at a young age. Case in point: the Tera Byte video game creation camp, which is run completely by students from Greenhill and St. Mark’s.
Zach Galant started the camp back in 2004 – he was in eighth grade. When he graduated and headed off to Standford University, his little brother Jake took over. And if you think a video game camp is for anti-social gamers, you’re wrong. This is a tight-knit group of boys who are learning all kinds of skills for the so-called real world.

The next camps run Aug. 8-12 and Aug. 15-19, and it’s open to students in third-eighth grades. Check out the Tera Byte website to enroll.
