iCAMP: Coding
This online camp will be delivered LIVE by expert instructors in one of Camp Asia's dedicated Zoom Conferences.
(Using Scratch, Tynker, Blockly or similar block programming platforms)
(Scratch Platform)
Game Development is a fun, creative approach that naturally encourages children to test their skills, stamina, and focus on using unfamiliar technology. In this course, children get to experience what it's like to design an original video game, including the storyline, artwork, and gameplay mechanics. They then get to challenge each other in a gaming bonanza with their own creations.
*Participants will need a LAPTOP (ideally a second device/screen as well) - with an internet connection to join the camp.
*Laptops will need to be able to download/launch scratch or other coding applications to be advised.
