Coding with Kids: Scratch & Little Coders  |   6 - 12 years*
*Campers will be split into two groups: 6 - 7 and 8-12

6-7 years: Little Coders
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 6-7. We use age-appropriate online tools, including Lightbot, Kodable, and Scratch to introduce basic coding skills. After the camp, students will be able to share their projects with family and friends and continue programming at home with their Coding with Kids Scratch account.

8-12 years: Scratch—Intro to Game Development
Create your own games and embark on a coding adventure! This course introduces students to
coding using Scratch, a fun drag-and-drop coding environment. They will learn coding
fundamentals like Variables, Loops, and Conditionals while unleashing their creativity by
designing characters, creating scenes, and adding sounds. Students will apply these concepts
to build exciting games, stories, and animation projects, including Pet and Ball, Shark and Fish,
and Snowman Maze. Let's code the fun way together!
