In this 5-day camp,  Teacher Angela Dolph will introduce coding fundamentals and basic programming concepts to students through engaging, hands-on activities and projects.

Highlights

• Discover Programming with Scratch: Dive into coding with Scratch, a visual programming language that simplifies complex concepts and makes learning to code accessible and fun. Students will snap together code blocks to bring characters and stories to life.
• Create and Collaborate: Students will snap together code blocks to bring characters and stories to life.
• Build Confidence and Curiosity: Our course is designed to build confidence through accomplishment and foster curiosity by exploring the endless possibilities of coding.
• No previous experience with coding is needed. Our instructors will provide personalized attention, adapting to each child's learning style and pace, ensuring a supportive and stress-free environment.

By the end of the camp, students will have a basic understanding of programming concepts, create their own Scratch games, and carry forward a sense of excitement about the potential of coding.

This camp can be combined with the 5-day PM Space Science: Journey Beyond the Stars camp in the afternoon for a full-day camp.
