Embark on a creative coding journey where kids will bring their imagination to life through the magic of programming! This beginner-friendly, project-based coding boot camp is designed for kids who have never coded before, making learning fun and interactive.

👨‍🚀 Project-Based Learning
Dive into the world of coding by creating your very own Chat Bot and explore the basics of programming in a hands-on, project-based environment.

👨‍🚀 Daily Game Development
Each camp day is a new adventure! With expert guidance, students will design and code a unique video game, discovering the joy of problem-solving and creativity.

✅ Five Fully Working Games or Animations
By the end of the week, young coders will proudly showcase five fully functional games or animations they've crafted. These creations are not just lines of code but interactive experiences ready to be shared with family and friends. The focus of this class is in helping young learners see the possibilities with code!

💻 Scratch, a Coding Platform from MIT
Master the basics and beyond on Scratch, a beginner-friendly platform with a visual programming language. Unleash your creativity through drag-and-drop coding, and witness your code come to life instantly.

Understanding the Possibilities of Coding
This class goes beyond the syntax; it's about understanding the possibilities of coding. Kids will learn the art of problem-solving, logic, and creative expression through the medium of programming.

The primary goal is to show kids that coding can be incredibly fun! Engage in playful coding activities, interactive challenges, and unlock the secrets of making technology dance to your commands.

Learning Outcomes:
At the end of the week, budding coders will not only have a thorough understanding of all the basic features on Scratch but also a newfound appreciation for the limitless potential that coding offers. They'll proudly present their Chat Bot creations, showcasing their journey from coding novices to confident young programmers.

Enroll your child in this coding adventure and watch them discover the exciting world of programming—one project at a time! 🌟🚀

***IMPORTANT NOTES*** 💻🥳😻
1. Coders must  be on time, every day. The teacher is not able to reteach the material, once class has started. If a student joins class more than 5 minutes late, they will be asked to stay as an observer and watch the video after class in order to complete the activity.
2. Missed a class? No worries, video lessons and class recording are posted daily.
3. Send us your questions after class. If class is over and your learner needs assistance, please reach out with a message to the teacher. We are here to help. 
4. Young learners may need SIGNIFICANT assistance setting up their computer on their first day.
5. Young learners (ages 7-9) perform best when they have 2 devices to take this class. One for watching the teacher and one for coding. Older learners may use one device with windows set up side-by-side. 

🌟After completing this 5 day course, your child will be ready to take the intermediate level Scratch coding course. Sign up for back to back weeks for maximum benefit. 

We love teaching, we love coding, but most of all... We love having your child in our class 💻❤️🤓
