Join our Winter Scratch coding camp for kids.
Theme: Among Us / Minecraft Scratch Coding!
Students learn for 5 days (90 minutes/day) on Jan 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
Prorated prices are available if you join after Jan 4th.
Different projects will be coded each day, so you can attend just part of the camp.
Camp#1: @ 11:00AM-12:30PM CST OR Camp#2: @ 1:00PM-2:30PM CST
(You may enroll in one or both camps. Students will code different projects in each camp.)
Students program their own interactive animations, creative Minecraft and Among Us related projects, musical interactive drawing apps, and other dynamic video games using the block-based programming language developed by MIT.
Why Choose Us?
Students apply programming concepts such as: loops, data validation, variables, and cloning. Our small class sizes allow instructors to closely guide students and also keep them appropriately challenged. Even children that have been previously exposed to Scratch elsewhere benefit from enrolling in our Scratch class since our content is more comprehensive than most other introductory Scratch courses found elsewhere. As a result, students develop a stronger and deeper foundation, and will feel more comfortable and confident coding more complex projects later on.

Elements of a Scratch program
