Coding classes in Denver, CO

Camp Description: Get ready for an exciting week of hands-on invention! In the first half of this camp, we’ll learn about creating a series of circuits as we make art & sound projects in Makey Makey. We’ll then explore the wonders of MicroBit, a small-but-mighty microcontroller that allows students to create techie gadgets with sensors and LED displays. We’ll use Microsoft’s MakeCode block coding editor to bring our MicroBits to life. This camp is the perfect way to spark curiosity and inspire the next generation of inventors! Prerequisite: Ability to follow basic directions. Loves to invent gadgets! Ages: 8 - 11 If your student enjoys this camp, they may also like Lego Robotics or Stop-Motion Animation.

This camp teaches what it truly means to CODE, allowing students to develop their problem-solving skills using a hands-on approach in fun and interactive ways. Take the initial leap into the realm of "real coding," transitioning away from drag-and-drop interfaces. Students delve into the core principles of programming, mastering crucial elements such as syntax, code commenting, and control structures (including for loops, if/else statements, and while loops) to enhance overall code readability. The curriculum uses Stanford University's Karel programming language, a pre-JavaScript language that serves as a prerequisite for incoming university freshmen. Recommended for ages 10+, or some 9-year-olds with strong keyboarding skills. Note that if your kiddo is enthusiastic about learning to code, but perhaps not the best typer yet...we recommend using the TypingClub.com learn-to-type online and gamified learning tool. It's free and highly effective! If your student enjoys this camp, the next coding class in the progression is Python Programming - one of the most widely used programming languages in the world.

Sign up for our exciting NEW camp where we combine engineering and programming to create custom Remote Control Cars! Each camper will receive a complete parts kit and dive into the world of electronics, mechanics, and coding. Using the Arduino programming language, they’ll bring their cars to life, learning essential engineering concepts along the way. Once their cars are built and programmed, campers will put their creations to the test by navigating through fun obstacle courses. This hands-on experience promotes problem-solving, teamwork, and a deeper understanding of the engineering process. The camp includes a materials fee, so campers get to take home their RC cars! Prerequisite: Coding 101 required. Ages: 11+ If your student loves this camp, be sure to check out our Rocket Academy and 3D Printing programs as well!

Camp Description: Learn the basics of designing and coding your own games in Roblox. Explore a selection of pre-generated worlds and tasks as you learn the fundamentals of coding in Roblox's Lua. Using Roblox Studio, campers will design a variety of different games of their own. Prerequisite: Please set up free a Roblox account prior to the start of this camp: https://www.roblox.com/account/signupredir (Please provide your login details.) Also, bring a keen interest in Roblox! Ages: 8 - 12 If your student enjoys this camp, you may also want to consider Jr. Programmers in Scratch or Jr. Minecraft Modding.

This camp is perfect for campers of all skill levels who want to create exciting, multi-level games to share with friends and family! Using the Flowlab game creator, no coding experience is required, but campers will have unlimited creative freedom to design interactive 2D games, inspired by classics like Super Mario, Donkey Kong, and Space Invaders. They'll create their own characters, environments, and projectiles, then build game logic with behaviors like physics, triggers, and more to control sprite actions and game flow. Advanced campers can even export their games to Android or iOS app stores! NOTE: No camps will be held on Friday, July 4th, in recognition of Independence Day. Prerequisite: Keyboarding skills, no coding required. Ages: 9+ If your camper enjoys this experience, they may also love our Minecraft Modding or other Game Design camps.

Calling all Minecrafters! If your kiddo is crazy about Minecraft, then this camp will take their passion to the next level by teaching them how to create their own “mods” (short for modifying) to use in their Minecraft worlds. Campers learn how to customize their Minecraft games by creating whole new worlds, biomes and characters. New this year is that campers will use a drag & drop Java-based code editor called MCreator - enabling an easy to use and highly dynamic mod developer interface. Additionally, the program provides an introduction to Java programming required to bring their mods to life. Parents note that Game Design is often considered a gateway to learning to code!
