Online Scratch Programming / Coding Camp
Scratch Programming (a graphical programming language developed at MIT) is ideal for elementary school kids. It has been developed to meet the interests of younger kids who want to learn about the fundamentals of programming. In this course, students (rising grades 2 through 5) will be introduced to fundamental programming concepts in a simple, intuitive, and educational way. Kids will have the opportunity to learn how to create interactive projects (animations, and or computer games) using Scratch. Kids will develop the skills of how to plan a project, design a project and will apply the skills learned in class to create their own project (game).
Our Scratch camp is targeted towards students with an interest in learning about the fundamentals of programming. By familiarizing him or her with the basics of scratch, students develop a greater understanding of programming as a whole. Scratch is designed to be a simple, intuitive, and educational way for students to get introduced to app programming. In this camp, students will have the opportunity to create projects by employing the skills they have learned during the camp.
HaveThis class uses Scratch as a tool to teach fundamental computer science and coding concepts.This course is designed for students to be confident in applying coding to their diverse projects - art, dance, music, animation, games, storytelling and more. In this era coding becomes digital literacy, students will be encouraged to incorporate what they learn to what they like.
Do you love Scratch? Take it to the next level. In this advanced Scratch game making course, students will make several Scratch games and finale with their own game.
This course is designed to foundation understanding in programming using html/css/javascript. Quiz app is an entry level project in which students develop tools they can use and experience how powerful coding can be in actualizing their ideas into reality. Ultimately, students will internalize the startup process (Ideation => User Studies => Wire Frames => Comps => Feature Implementation => Data Collection => Iteration) to apply what they learn in real life projects. Students who complete real projects (intro-int-adv) usually join Science fair team, entrepreneurship competition team, internship program.

This course is designed to provide foundation understanding in programming using html/css/javascript. Students will be introduced to fundamentals in web-based programming, and how technology can be used to express their creativity. This one week program consists of a series of mini-projects and a finale with a wanted poster. In the process of it students will become fluent with web-based programming. Upon completion of this course, students will be ready to take on other MVP projects.
