Virtual Tech Camps

In this course, you will:

• Create variables and if-else statements
• Program using arithmetic operators
• Design and animate sprites
• Experiment and explore to build creativity and confidence

Dive into programming logic with Scratch, the drag-and-drop creative learning environment developed by MIT Media Lab. You’ll use code blocks and characters to gain a foundation in computational thinking, creating animated stories and games. Bright visuals and engaging design enhance the learning process, making it easy for you to develop essential STEM skills for our tech-driven world.

In this course, you will:

• Create and publish games to the Roblox website
• Practice programming fundamentals with Lua
• Learn game design fundamentals
• Monetize projects with in-game items

Use Roblox’s built-in editor to create 3D worlds. Publish, share, and play games with friends on any platform from console to mobile. Study games that have been runaway hits and learn how to implement some of the same monetization strategies in your own games.

In this course, you will:

• Create Minecraft adventure maps and mods
• Use variables, functions, and control structures to customize Minecraft
• Code in Java
• Develop logical thinking and problem-solving skills

Use Java code to add personalized, modded flair to Minecraft! Create your own items and blocks, then design and build an adventure map to incorporate your awesome additions into the game. Practice Java coding fundamentals and game design to create mods and maps to share with friends.

In this course, you will:

• Use programming logic to create game mechanics
• Build games from start to finish
• Practice game design principles with engaging activities

Code your projects with flashy graphics and read user input to recreate games you love. As you become more skilled, you can explore the different ways JavaScript can grow with your skillset. It’s more than just the most popular language for web design! JavaScript is a tool you’ll use to turn your visions and code into something tangible.

In this course, you will:

• Use game objects, models, and levels to create game environments
• Program interactions with C#
• Think in 3D to create interactive experiences
• Develop coding and design skills

You can piece together different level elements, building a world of your own design. Then with C# coding, you’ll add rules and structure, showing players how to interact with your creation. As you put it all together, you’ll realize you’re doing more than just making the next popular battle royale or arcade game. You’re designing incredible experiences for yourself and the people you want to play with, and joining a community of millions of developers using Unity and C#!

In this course, you will:

• Use variables, functions, and control structures to customize Minecraft
• Code in Java
• Create Minecraft mods
• Develop logical thinking and problem-solving skills

Go beyond the fundamentals and get straight to production-level Java coding with Minecraft. You’ll modify a living code base in this ever-popular game, creating custom tools, blocks, and mobs. Unleash the power of Java while gaining critical problem-solving skills for future careers and personal projects.

In this course, you will:

• Use variables, functions, and control structures to customize Minecraft
• Code in Java
• Create Minecraft mods
• Develop logical thinking and problem-solving skills

Once you have the basics down, go further to see how your coding knowledge applies to algorithms, cryptography, and even machine learning. You’ll start with logic games and Python—the fastest-growing programming language available—then move into object-oriented concepts. As your understanding of coding deepens, explore creating more advanced programs that help you understand simple neural networks, or even computer security.
