Code Kingdom Camp

Learn how to make your own Minecraft mods and Roblox games with Code Kingdoms. Code Kingdoms is an online platform which teaches children how to code. Used in 50+ countries, Code Kingdoms has had over 1 million young people using their coding technology. They are a key educational partner of Roblox and have previously partnered with the BBC and Minecraft. They have designed an effective coding environment, with integrated content, to enhance children’s digital skills. Their technology guides children from the very first steps of programming in real languages, such as Lua, Java and JavaScript, while also developing their design and production capabilities.

App Development Camp

App development has increased manifold in the past 5 years giving makers easier access to essential tools, so give your engineer the knowledge to stay ahead in today’s technological society. We’re offering a unique experience in which students get to code, test, and create their own apps in real-time using an easy-to-understand format. The best part about this program is that they’ll be able to save their created apps right to their (or your own) devices for play anywhere, anytime!

Junior Code Monkey Camp

CodeMonkey is a game-based learning environment where children learn to code in real programming languages. CodeMonkey puts students in charge of helping a monkey retrieve her lost bananas while journeying through a whimsical map full of procedural coding puzzles, writing real code in CoffeeScript (which is a simpler, more intuitive version of JavaScript) or Python to solve them. Designed for those with no prior programming experience, each of the hundreds of included levels is viewed from a top-down perspective, and students must write and run code snippets in one area of the screen in order to guide the monkey across each level in another. This separated style helps students instantly see the results of their work, and the game steps through each line of code as it’s played out.
