Coding with Roblox®
Ages 10-13
Roblox® is a very popular multiplayer online game for kids! Roblox® is a great place to start for new game designers. In our mini-camp, children will learn to create their own game in Roblox®. Students will learn both the basics of 3D game development and fundamental programming concepts using the Lua programming language. It’s a simple coding language with a straightforward editor. Our helpful staff will make sure it’s a great experience. This camp is designed for beginner students who are interested in both programming and game development.

App Development – There must be an app for that!
Ages 8-13
We have all heard this saying, “there must be an app for that!” Understanding the basics of app creation is an essential talent that can start at a young age. Let us help your child by teaching them to create fun and simple apps that work on computers and gadgets like iPads and Android tablets. They will use a special set of commands that are written in JavaScript, one of the most popular programming languages in the world. Commands are easy to type and easy to understand for beginners. As kids progress, they’re introduced to more “raw” JavaScript syntax (vocabulary and grammar). During this week, kids learn to program by starting with existing apps, remixing them and making them their own.
