Creative Coding
Digital Story-Telling & Game Design (Ages 6-8)
Uses Scratch or similar block programming platforms.
Through story-telling and game design, we will be helping the young coders express their creativity while learning the fundamentals of coding and computational thinking. Each day, your child will be either creating their own interactive story or learning new coding techniques as they create multimedia games. On the last day, they will combine everything they learned into an original project.
Classic Game Design (Ages 9-11)
Uses Scratch, GDevelop or similar platforms.
In this program, kids will learn to code while re-creating their own version of classics video games. New coders will be guided through the basics, while even the most experienced coder will find new techniques to add to their repertoire. Through creating their own artwork, level designs, and adding their own unique "spin" to the classics, kids will get to learn coding fundamentals while they experience what's it's like to design a video game.
We have ample equipment for everyone, so please do not send your child to camp with a computer or tablet.
"Aiden has always been a tech kid so this was the best camp for him, it made his holiday special and he picked up so many new skills.”
