Young artists spend a fun-filled week exploring an exciting new medium: code! Campers will be guided step by step through the process of creating a scrolling, interactive animation that reflects their interests, raises awareness for a cause, or just looks cool!
This experience is for those who are completely new to coding and the Scratch programming language. Developed by MIT researchers, Scratch employs an engaging block-based approach that is easy to get started with yet powerful enough to build complex projects with.
The techniques and concepts learned over the five days of camp can be used to create all sorts of projects, including games, tutorials, interactive stories, and generative art. The goal is for every camper to finish the week more confident in their abilities and brimming with ideas about what to create next.
Morning and afternoon sessions are available. Classes meet on Zoom for 75 minutes each day.
