The camp uniquely combines unplugged activities, board games, storytelling, and various robots and apps to make coding accessible and enjoyable for young learners.
Coding FUNdamentals is a week-long day camp where elementary-aged students explore core coding concepts through a variety of engaging activities. Campers will participate in unplugged activities, board games, stories, and role-playing to understand computational thinking. The program also incorporates hands-on experience with robots like Dash & Dot, Bee-Bots, and Cubetto, as well as popular coding apps such as CodeSpark Academy, Lightbot, and Osmo Coding. The primary goal is to help students think like a computer, build confidence in their coding abilities, and have fun while learning. The camp aims to provide a foundational understanding of coding in a playful and accessible environment.
Each day begins with an Opening Circle, followed by engaging in art and exploration, sports and fitness activities, swimming, gardening, and a special adventure, concluding with a Closing Circle.
This camp is best for elementary-aged students who have little to no prior exposure to coding and are eager to explore technology in a fun and supportive environment.
