Children

Best for: Grades 2 – Grade 4/5

Prerequisite: Scratch 100. Must be comfortable reading and doing basic math.

 

Finished Scratch 100? Great! Continue to develop your coding skills with this volunteer-run coding camp!

 

This is a fun course meant to complement the Scratch 100 course. Using the Scratch 100 materials, students will get a chance to create their own games which will incorporate all the concepts they have learned. While creating their own games, instructors will be assisting them if they need any help, or if they need some ideas to get them started. 

 

This class is perfect for younger children who have interest in video games, and want to create their own video games. At the end of the course, students will be presenting their final games to their parents.

Best for: Grades 4/5 – Grade 8

Prerequisite: Python 100 or previous Python experience highly recommended

 

Finished Python 100? Great! Continue to develop your coding skills with this volunteer-run coding camp!

 

This course is the continuation of the Python 100 course, and students will be dividing deeper into coding algorithms. We will be exploring concepts that are commonly seen on USACO Bronze contests, and CCC Junior contests. Students will be prepared for these contests after taking this course. It is highly recommended that students have a strong grasp of the Python syntax before attempting this course. 

 

At the end of this course, students will be presenting a former USACO problem to their parents, and discussing the solution. Students will present what they have learned over the weeks and will present one “core” coding concept with real world applications of that concept.
