Live Instructor Coding Camps

Python Bootcamp (3 weeks)

Python is a feature-packed programming language and this 3-week bootcamp serves as a first introduction to Python programming using the repl.it programming environment. It assumes no prior experience but rapidly takes you to high levels of programming. Students will learn input-output commands, variables, strings, arrays, conditionals, loops, recursion, Python functions, compositional programming, pretty printing, and basic turtle graphics.

Python Bootcamp (5 weeks)

This 5-week deep-dive bootcamp serves as a first introduction to Python programming using the repl.it programming environment. Beginning with basics, it gently takes you to advanced levels of programming. Students will learn input-output commands, variables, strings, arrays, conditionals, loops, recursion, functional programming, iterators, responding and reacting to user input, regular expressions, analyzing data, turtle graphics, reading and writing to files, and programming textual games.

Scratch: Animation and Stories

This is our introductory Scratch coding camp for kids with no exposure to coding. In this camp, kids will learn to code using sprites and backdrops, XY Co-ordinate system, complex movement, pen commands, geometric shapes, stamping, costumes, loops, conditional statements, variables, event handling and message broadcasting.

Scratch: Game Development

This is our advanced Scratch coding camp for students who have completed Scratch 1 or who have prior Scratch coding experience. In this camp, kids will learn to build real games, recognize and respond to sprite clicks, track and follow mouse movements, react to keyboard presses and clone characters on demand.

Minecraft Modding with Makecode

This is our introductory Makecode coding camp. Kids will have a blast in this coding camp as they learn to build cool mods using Makecode. Kids will learn the 3D co-ordinate system, agent and builder models, building structures in custom worlds, spawning entities, variables, conditional statements, loops, functions and event handling.

Roblox Programming

This is our introductory Roblox modding camp where students will learn to modify Roblox games using Roblox Studio. In this coding camp, students will learn the basics of Roblox Studio, moving and scaling parts, spawning objects, terrain construction, developing and importing models and the basics of Lua programming.

TinkerCAD

This is our introductory TinkerCAD course where students create complex 3D structures like toys, vehicles, and buildings! They can even print them on their 3D printer for personal use! Makecode coding class. Kids will learn about 3D geometry, adding and subtracting shapes, constructive solid geometry, creating patterns and tilings, and even TinkerCAD's block-based programming language!

Python 1

This fast moving Python coding camp assumes no prior experience but rapidly takes you to high levels of programming. In this coding camp, students will learn numbers, strings, arrays, conditional statements, control constructs, functions, iterators, responding and reacting to user input and will create simple games.

Python 2: Turtle Graphics Programming

This is our exiciting Turtle Graphics camp for students familiar with Python. In this coding camp, students will learn to use the Turtle Graphics library, move and turn commands, the XY coordinate system, basic Geometry and exploration, drawing polygons, drawing stars, drawing spirals, stamping, randomizing and coloring drawings.

Python 3: Minecraft Modding

This class brings together two favorite platforms: Minecraft and Python. Students already familiar with the basics of Python will be introduced to an object-oriented flavor of programming, how to use builder and agent models to construct structures in their Minecraft worlds, navigating a 3D environment, and how to create complex programs compositionally from simpler parts.

Web: HTML, CSS, and Javascript

This course takes you behind the scenes to illustrate how to write and style complex and compelling websites. HTML is the industry standard for hypertext markup that describes the visual appearance and behavior of websites. CSS or cascading style sheets is the cornerstone stylesheet technology that specifies how webpages must be displayed on various platforms such as computer screens, phones, and tablets. Javascript specifies how pages react and respond to user input and encode your site's logic. Create many fully functional websites in this camp!

Javascript Programming

This is our introductory course on Javascript programming. Students will learn how to code programs for running in browsers. Topics include basic control and logic elements, developing interactive web pages, events and triggers, the document object model (DOM), flow control, and developing simple browser-based games.
