Each camp has recommendations around age and skill level, but all are open to discussion based on your child’s experience with coding.TheCoderSchool camps are great for learning new skills in a condensed period of time. Each day camp runs for a full week, usually starting mid-morning and finishing early afternoon, although some camps are offered as a half-day. While we’ll do lots of on-computer learning, we’ll also take plenty of breaks, get some physical motion by heading outside frequently (weather permitting), and even do some cool offline coding exercises! For each of our camps, students get to present their creations at the end of the week, with demos to show off their hard work from the week. Kids come away with confidence and new skills, whether it’s gaining new coding tricks or discovering what makes a robot come to life.
