Campers not only design and code their own video games using a free, web-based platform but also learn to integrate their digital creations with the physical world using a MicroBit.
In the Colorado Academy - Coding: Video Game Design camp, campers dive into the exciting world of game creation using Scratch, a free and web-based programming language developed by MIT. This camp is designed for both beginners and experienced coders, providing a supportive environment to learn fundamental programming concepts and game development principles. Campers will engage in hands-on activities, building their own video games, musical devices, and interactive art. They will learn to integrate their projects with the physical world using a MicroBit, which can function as a controller, light, and sound sensor. The camp fosters a social and playful learning community where participants can create, build, share their projects, and receive inspiration and support from MindDance teachers.
A typical day involves campers using Scratch to create video games, musical devices, and interactive art, with opportunities to integrate their projects with physical hardware like the MicroBit. They will also share their creations with peers and instructors.
This camp is ideal for creative and curious middle school students who are interested in learning programming fundamentals and game development, regardless of prior coding experience.
