Thanksgiving Scratch Coding Among Us

Join our Thanksgiving Scratch coding camp for kids. Students meet for 90 minutes per day for multiple days or you can just register for a single day.  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?

• 100% Live Instruction – we actively teach your child the entire time - students do not watch pre recorded videos…
• 25+ years of combined experience – your child is paired with expert certified computer science instructors
• Small class sizes – your child has fewer distractions. Our focus is your child.
• Personalization – lessons tailored for your child’s individual learning style.
• Flexible scheduling – learning happens when it’s most convenient for you.
• Resources – we’ve created the most effective curriculum and use the latest Scratch version

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.
