What's included
5 live meetings
10 in-class hoursClass Experience
Each session is full of projects based on Passion, Collaboration with Peers, and a Playful Spirit. It is full of hands-on Memorable, Meaningful, and Motivating activities, specially designed for girls and boys, 7 to 9 years old. This camp is a discovery enrichment program where the only academic requirement is a passion for learning and creating. We will use household materials to build the projects. In this online live course, each student will: - Participate in a class with other children his/her age group (7 - 9), discovering how the engineering process and coding are a part of everyday life. - Enjoy 9+ hours of personalized project-based instruction and interest-based projects. - Learn to design, build, create models using materials you can find around the house that will require an engineer's eye. - Learn to code, design, and create images on a coding platform. - Collaborate with small groups (9 campers maximum per session) with one adult certified live instructor. Each day has a different focus, and together with access tools like special coding software, kids will learn all of the individual skills of being an Engineer! These diverse courses will guide your child to develop basic engineering skills by teaching them how to create, build, and program computers and engineer contraptions using materials you can find around the house.
Learning Goals
Coders play an essential role in our everyday lives, from designing reliable apps and games for all ages.
Engineers play a crucial role in advancing our technology to help make our world a more connected and safer place.
In our Summer Camp, campers will learn the basics of coding and engineering, understanding their steps to create a successful design.
Students will put on their coding and engineering caps in this camp and test their abilities by creating different projects related to the commands learned throughout the class. Students will learn that being an engineer starts with understanding the vocabulary and navigating and troubleshooting errors that may arise.
With the instructor's guide, students will learn that they, too, can be a part of the coding and engineering process if they are willing to try.
