In this week-long camp, kids will learn to create their own interactive games using Scratch, a beginner-friendly visual programming platform. We'll start the week by choosing one of three class projects to build together: Rock Blaster, Balloon Burster, or Brick Bouncer, where students learn essential coding concepts as a group. Then, they'll apply those skills to design and build their own unique game from scratch.
No prior coding experience needed! Our goal is simple: to help kids build confidence and creativity through code while having fun. Students work at their own pace with plenty of time for exploration, problem-solving, and collaboration. By the end of the week, each student will have created two working games they can play, share with friends, and keep building at home.
We keep class sizes small (max 6 students) so every child gets personalized support. The day includes coding time, outdoor breaks, optional enrichment activities like chess or origami, and daily showcases where students share their progress. Kids will leave with stronger tech skills, but also with increased resilience and problem-solving abilities that help in other subjects like math.
Students vote on one game to build together: Rock Blaster, Balloon Burster, or Brick Bouncer. As a group, we'll learn how to implement sprite movement, scoring, sound effects, and game mechanics.
Students design and build their own completely original game, applying everything they've learned. Projects are open-ended - kids create what they're excited about! On the final day, everyone presents their game to the class.
By the end of this camp, your child will be able to:
Same schedule for all camps. Coding indoors; breaks and lunch outside.
