Coding Game Design Summer Camp: Build Games, Create Engaging Storylines

Engage in a class (16 sessions), where your child receives personalized attention from our experienced computer science teachers. Tailored for beginners, each session cultivates higher-order thinking skills like creativity and coding logic. No prior coding experience is needed, but basic computer mouse skills and age-appropriate reading abilities enhance the learning journey. Watch as they explore, create, and learn, ensuring a unique and enriching coding experience.

No Prerequisites, Block based Coding IDE
 
Lesson 1 - Train the Knight
- We will learn about animation and loops to help the knight patrol and guard the castle.

Lesson 2 - Mystical Gem
- We will learn click events and use the when actor clicked code block to create a clicker game.

Lesson 3 - Dodge Game        
- We will learn to use the point toward “mouse pointer” and the “when touching” code blocks to create a dodge game.

Lesson 4 - Forest Maze
