Little Coders Ages: 5-7
Tools: Scratch, Lightbot, and more!
Coder’s Ladder: Pre-coding Level
Prerequisites: None
CAMP DESCRIPTION:
Our Little Coders camp is an opportunity for young children to develop their computational thinking skills, build their first programs, and have fun with new friends! The curriculum is designed specifically for early readers and takes into account cognitive abilities as well as the attention span typical for ages 5-7. Students are introduced to basic coding concepts in a variety of ways, from playing coding board games like Robot Turtles to programming their first games or animated stories. We use age-appropriate online tools, including Lightbot, Kodable, and Scratch. After the camp, students will be able to share their projects with family and friends and continue programming at home.
Game Development I Ages: 7-11
Tools: Scratch and more!
Coder’s Ladder: Level 1
Prerequisites: Reading Ability
CAMP DESCRIPTION:
Start your coding journey by creating your own games! Campers will learn the core concepts of computer programming that will lay the foundations for future coding success. A variety of projects, such as chasing games, mazes, and animated stories, will allow campers to use their creativity while learning coding concepts like loops and variables. Our unique curriculum and smaller class size provide personalized instruction that helps students progress at their own pace while being appropriately challenged. Students will have access to their own Scratch account that will allow them to continue working on their coding journey at home.
Game Development II Ages: 8-14
Tools: Scratch and more!
Coder’s Ladder: Level 2-3
Prerequisites:
Younger students should complete at least one beginner session before taking this camp and have ability to independently create simple games in Scratch.
For older students prior coding experience would be beneficial, but is not required, we will help them pick up quickly.
CAMP DESCRIPTION:
Take your child’s game development skills up to the next level! Campers will move on to more involved projects in Scratch that may include game concepts such as AI (Artificial Intelligence), physics, multi-level, or multiplayer functionality. Campers will build on their current knowledge, learning more advanced concepts, such as nested conditionals, and functions. Instructors serve as guides and coaches to small groups of campers, with our unique curriculum providing personalized instruction that helps students progress at their own pace while being appropriately challenged. Students will have access to their own Scratch account that will allow them to continue working on their coding journey at home.
Minecraft Modding Ages: 8-16
Tools: Minecraft, Block Based Java, Code Kingdoms
Coder’s Ladder: Level 1-2
Prerequisites:
Prior coding experience not required, but helpful
CAMP DESCRIPTION:
Calling all Minecrafters! Building Minecraft mods is a great way to learn programming, harness creativity, and enhance problem-solving skills while making your favorite game even better. Each camper will have their own Minecraft server where they can customize the game with their own world maps and features. Students will be coding mods to create new items, environments, non-playable characters, game modes, and more! Using a simple drag-and-drop coding environment, campers will accomplish exciting results with their one-of-a-kind Minecraft features!
The Dash & Dot is not only a programming robot kit but also an educational tool. For educational purpose, it is a not bad option. It allows kids to accept knowledge in a fresh way, i.e. learn meanwhile play. It supports children to carry out imagination. Dash & Dot Blockly enables to educate kids in graphical programming. Additional accessories are also available.
