Coding with Kids provides a progressive curriculum, the Coder's Ladder®, that allows students to advance from beginner to advanced levels in software development, similar to a martial arts belt system.
Coding with Kids offers hands-on programming camps across the Denver/Boulder region for students in grades K-12, focusing on developing computational thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills. Campers engage in a blend of connected and "unplugged" activities. Programs include creating interactive stories and computer games using Scratch, coding mods for Minecraft to customize game elements, and learning Python for building projects like terminal-based games, data analysis tools, or web scraping applications. Older students can delve into web development with HTML/CSS/JavaScript to create websites and web-based games, or explore electronics and robotics using Arduino and C programming to build circuits, alarms, and music generators. The curriculum is progressive, allowing students to advance from foundational concepts to more complex software development skills.
A typical day includes morning announcements, icebreakers, and team-building activities, followed by focused coursework in their chosen coding area. Breaks are provided for outdoor time, board games, and lunch, with more project work in the afternoon.
This camp is best for young coders of all experience levels, from beginners to those ready to learn professional programming languages, who are interested in hands-on creation and problem-solving through technology.
