Chess Champion and Rockin Robots

In this camp, students will develop their skills through puzzles, lessons, and games against other students. The camp will focus on the fundamentals of chess including strategies for the beginning, middle and endgame. The camp is designed for beginners and those new to chess that want to improve their skills.

​

After lunch, they will learn about robotics using Ozobot Evo or Makeblock mBot. Learn to program them using their block-based coding platforms. Students will learn basic coding constructs such as event-handling and conditionals through the process of manipulating and directing their robot. 

Great Graphics

Students will have fun engaging their artistic side in our Digital Art camp!  Create and edit images, shapes, and text, and learn how to make photo collages, use selection tools, filters, digital brushes and more!  This is an introduction to photo editors and visual communication, solving visual problems with digital solutions.  Add to your portfolio every day to show friends and family.

Throughout the course, students will establish proficiency with the photo editor interface and tools, and will gain an understanding of file formats, color management, image resolution, and pixel depth for differing output needs.  They will learn about texturing, compositing, and various effects that can be applied when creating and manipulating images.

Kids and teens will be grouped by age and level.  Maximum number of students will be 4 in a virtual setting.

Games and Robots

This camp introduces students to coding with Scratch, a block-based programming language that exposes students to basic coding constructs in a creative, engaging way.  Learn to use loops, counters, conditionals, and other basic coding constructs through building projects in Scratch.  Build fun animations, keep score, change backdrops, create colorful characters, and learn to accept user input and respond to keys or mouse clicks!  Through application and practice, students will learn the fundamentals of programming.

​

Maximum number of students will be 5, and all will be required to wear masks.  Computers will be distanced and assigned, or students are welcome to bring their own laptops.  

Rockin Roblox

Learn game design and coding with Roblox, a popular tool where creativity and imagination are limitless!  Code with drag-and-drop blocks and make your own version of your favorite Roblox games.  Learn LUA programming concepts and take Roblox to the next level applying loops, conditionals, variables, and arrays.  Kids make amazing professional quality games that they can play with friends and family! 

Wonderful Web I

For ages 8+, this camp introduces the cool web technologies of HTML and CSS that form web pages!   Learn techniques to design and build a basic web page with animated graphics and learn about the underlying frameworks and scripting languages that can power websites.  Examples of projects include a greeting card, recipe, and custom page on student interest such as cars and sports. The Javascript programming language will be introduced but not explored in depth until Web Development Basics.

Math In Action

“How long will it take me to fly to Japan?” “How many possible chess moves are there?” “How does Mario jump on Goombas’ heads?” Welcome to Math in Action, where we seek to answer these questions and many more! What separates Math in Action from your typical math class is we are all about demonstration! Instead of worksheets and tests, we utilize projects and experiments to teach math concepts in a fun and engaging way. Topics covered will range from Pre-Algebra to the introduction of basic Trigonometry. By the end of the program, students will have a much deeper understanding of math and be able to apply to real-world problems and computer programming. Please join us as we deepen our understanding of the world around us through math!
