The camp uniquely blends traditional art with digital tools, allowing children to draw their game elements on paper before bringing them to life with drag-and-drop visual coding.
In this engaging camp, children will embark on a creative journey to design and build their very own adventure games and animated stories. The program caters to all skill levels, requiring no prior coding experience. Campers will begin by conceptualizing their characters and worlds using traditional methods like crayons and paper. Following this, they will transition to a user-friendly visual coding tool called COG, where they will utilize colorful drag-and-drop coding blocks to bring their creations to life. This hands-on approach allows kids to see their drawings animate and interact within their self-made games. The camp focuses on fostering computational thinking, creativity, collaboration, and confidence through project-based learning. By the end of the week, each child will have a personalized game to play and share, gaining fundamental skills in game creation and digital storytelling.
A typical day involves a mix of plugged and unplugged activities based on the camp theme, including designing characters on paper, using visual coding blocks to animate stories and games, and dedicated snack and lunch breaks.
This camp is ideal for young, creative minds who are new to computers and coding and eager to explore game creation and digital storytelling in a fun, hands-on environment.
