This class does not require any out-of-class work. We do offer optional challenges that students can work on as an extension of what is taught in class. We provide guidance and instructions for students who are inspired to delve deeper into the topic. The purpose of these challenges is to give students the opportunity to supplement their learning with additional material that aligns with their passions and goals. Students may then integrate their learnings into their project and showcase their accomplishments to their classmates. With this approach, students can explore the subject on their own. We give students the opportunity to share what they’ve explored independently with the class.학습 평가
At Connected Camps, we assess each student’s progress by engaging them in reflection of their own work and the work of their classmates. By building in Minecraft and applying concepts taught in class, our students are able to solidify their learnings through hands-on application. Our counselors’ focus is to provide qualitative feedback to further each students’ individual goals and interests, and we do not use letter or number grades. In addition to our in-class reflections, our counselors also provide post-session recaps that offer a summary of what is accomplished each day. Through these summary reflections, students are able to review the material and share with their parents what they did in class. We find this approach allows kids of different interests and abilities to engage with our teachings in a way that is particularly relevant to them.채점

This program requires Basic reading comprehension, Basic proficiency with computers, and no prior experience with Minecraft. PROGRAM OVERVIEW: In our Builder’s Club, your child will pursue their own projects and interests with the support of new friends and a counselor who is a Minecraft expert. This club offers a kid-driven, social, hands-on, exploratory experience, connecting learning and play. Connected Camps is a non-profit founded in 2017 by professors at the University of California, and is backed by research about online spaces where kids can thrive and learn together. This is a club that harnesses the magic of Creative Mode in Java and Bedrock editions to offer experiences where your child will brainstorm, make decisions, and accomplish team goals. From build battles to group builds and business days, your child will work with others to overcome challenges and grow as a designer and teammate. During this class, your child will: — Compete in build battles where they will put their creativity to the test and design epic structures. — Engage in group builds and learn how to communicate effectively and delegate tasks. — Learn the basics of project management and partner up on business days to generate profit from in-game investments. — Discover the value of a supportive community and how to reflect and communicate effectively with each other while receiving valuable feedback. This is a club that meets once a week with constant fun new things to do! Your child will play in Creative Mode with other campers who love the thrill of building so you can connect with them and make new friends. Best of all, you’ll have the help of a counselor to guide your child through every project should they ever need inspiration or building tips and tricks. PARENTS: This is a club for kids to connect and experience the bond of a supportive community as they share their work in a constructive environment. Your child will get to experience the advantages of team-oriented exercises as they strengthen their technical, creative, social-emotional and conflict resolution skills. In this program, we prioritize a free-play, youth-driven space where your child will play a key role in deciding what we do as a class each day. In this class, we incorporate time for students to reflect and share ideas to bolster team cohesion and develop a positive self-reflective practice. As your child sets and meets their goals, they will develop their self-confidence through group feedback while enjoying a game they love. Please note that we will be asking for your camper's in-game username so that we can add them to our server's safelist.

Internet safety is a top priority for us and our goal is to create a safe, connected community of learners that is moderated by our instructors. Throughout our programs we strive to educate our learners on internet safety and best practices for connecting online.
In our programs, our learners are often making friendships and connections with others in class. While we encourage positive online friendships, we think it’s important to practice these principles of internet safety:
— Do NOT ask others to connect online outside of our programs without first confirming with your parents. Our programs are a safe, moderated space for learners to engage but we can’t moderate connections outside of our classes.
— Do NOT give away personal information which includes but is not limited to: your name, address, phone number, passwords, location, email address, and parental information.
— If an individual asks for personal information, you should inform a counselor or your parent for guidance.

One thing that makes our programs unique is our near-peer mentorship model. Our programs are led by young adults and college students, often with the help of high school volunteers. We hire counselors and coaches from top universities in computer science, game development, economics, social studies, and the arts, and train them on how to facilitate project-based learning with younger kids. Our young instructors have the same passion for technology, games, and digital making as our learners, and take on the role of instructors, as well as fellow enthusiasts and relatable role models.
The curriculum for this program was designed by a team of counselors pursuing degrees relevant to the material at hand. The learning experiences in this class are driven by these counselors’ academic expertise in the field, along with their desire to share their passion for the subject with a group of excited learners. All of Connected Camps’ curricula are vetted by the organization’s Product Manager, Matthew, who possesses a Masters in Secondary Education and a deep belief in the power of collaborative virtual learning.
