Learn to master the basics of coding with programs such as Swift, Kodable, Hoptscotch, and Cargo-Bot. Using iPads, you will write real code and see them run in games, puzzles, animations, stories, or beautiful 3D interactive “playgrounds”. This camp is perfect for a beginner or hesitant coder, but also will provide challenges for those with more experience. Participants will leave camp with ideas of how to continue working on coding skills at home. This camp will be the same content or similar content to previous Coding Camps. NOTE: for those enrolling in the afternoon virtual camp, you will need to make sure that you have loaded the apps on your device and they are working before the start of camp.
