Just like Scratch, this camp is for freshers – no programming background is needed to attend this camp. Animations using Scratch MIT Scratch is a GUI based programming environment. While it has a friendly interface that appeals to young children, it has tons of functionality! You can do 2. D animations of objects, create cool drawings, make a character sing a tune, develop an interactive game (control it with various inputs including voice!) and even narrate a story with images! Go to scratch. mit.
We will use a specific list of examples shown in www. Scratch uses drag- and- drop programming which means no syntax errors – program is always ready to run! It enables the young learners to focus on the logic instead. This camp is for beginners – no prior experience is required. Advanced Scratch: Games & Music. Pre- requisite: Animation using Scratch. Once the students are comfortable with the basics covered in “Animations using Scratch”, they can do advanced camp to develop games & make music.
We will typically use multiple sprites (objects) and even multiple code segments for each object. We will use programming concepts to make music and even utilize randomness to change the tunes along the way.

Columbus Crew SC OverviewColumbus Crew SC (Soccer Club) is the first club in Major League Soccer and in 2015, Crew SC was crowned MLS Eastern Conference Champions in. All El Centro College buildings and offices will close for the holidays at 5 p.m. on December 24. We will reopen on Monday, January 4, 2016.
We will use sophisticated concepts like event driven programming and cloning objects to complete the projects towards the end.. Coding with Robots Pre- requisite (recommended): Animation using Scratch.
Finch robots are tiny USB- powered robots that were developed specifically to learn programming. While these robots can be controlled from programs written in almost dozen languages, we are going to use MIT Scratch – it enables Elementary kids to write a few simple programs for the robot to move around, sense obstacles & light, play tunes etc.!
Then, we will look at another sophisticated robot called Scribbler – it is suitable for a wide range of programming skills. In addition to light- seeking, object detection, object avoidance & line- following, it can do art- work: place a Sharpie marker in the pen port and it will draw as it goes around! We will use the Graphical User Interface (S2 GUI) tile- based programming tools. Finally, we will look at Sphero robotic balls – they enable us to bring several math and science concepts to life! Circuits using Ma.
Key Ma. Key kit. Pre- requisite: None. Circuits with Ma. Key Ma. Key kit uses a kit that lets you turn anything into a controller. No technical expertise is needed, letting your imagination run wild while you quickly prototype ideas and interactions.
It’s basically a simplified Arduino processor that enables alternative ways for several inputs on your computer like mouse click, space, left- right- up- down keys, etc. We will be working “fun” projects every day! View the gallery of Ma.
Key Ma. Key based projects @ makeymakey. Kodu Game Lab. Pre- requisite: None. In Kodu Game Lab, games can be programmed using a combination of the keyboard and mouse in a graphical environment. Many different types of games can be made in Kodu, such as racing, strategy, RPGs, adventure, platform, puzzle, 1st person shooters, and others. Fancy Drawings using Logo. Logo is all about programming to generate drawings. Logo is a wonderful tool to bring math concepts to life!
We can use Logo to teach angles, division, remainder, random numbers, recursion and more!! You can go into www. You will be amazed by the wonderful drawings those tiny programs can generate & develop passion towards programming! While a typical 3rd grader can get started on Logo, even adults will enjoy learning to program with Logo – so Logo is really for all ages!
Participants will learn about syntax errors with free- form typing and realize how picky the computer’s user interface can be.“Bring Math to Life” camp. This camp is specifically for students who are super- excited about Math – we will highlight/focus on bringing math concepts to life through Computer Programming.
We will use Scratch, Logo, Alice, Java. Script or Java to see the math in action! Here are a few major concepts that will be covered: Angles, 3- dimensional space, random numbers, remainder, rotation, scaling & recursion.
We hope this camp will increase the students’ interest in Computer Programming. Learning with Minecraft Students will learn about the world of Minecraft and explore game mechanics in a fun and creative way. You’ll learn about house design, efficient farming and resource gathering, and even make contraptions using Redstone! We’ll also explore some engineering concepts including regularity and modularity. Best suited for students with minimal Minecraft experience, or those with experience only with the mobile version of the game. Enjoyable Coding using Alice / Alice (CHAMPS) / 3.
D Animations using Alice. This workshop is perfect for middle school students who have not done any programming so far. It uses drag and drop programming, which means there is no room for syntax errors!
You can convert your idea to code quickly and see it in action! You can code 3. D animations or games with ease.
Alice comes with a powerful graphics library that minimizes coding effort. Visit www. utdallas. Since Alice does require “careful” drop operations, we do not recommend Elementary students to take Alice directly, we recommend them to do Scratch first. We will start off with a short lecture on fundamental programming concepts, then we will start digging into Alice tool.
We will work on a series of examples throughout the camp. Please bring Windows/Mac/Linux laptop with Alice 2. Download the appropriate one from the list at the top there: Current Release – XXXXXXXX (Release Notes)Download Alice 2.
Windows Download Alice 2. Mac OS X Download Alice 2. Linux Installation instructions are given in the same page. These are huge download files! If you cannot download and install it, do not worry – we will have the downloaded files ready to install.
Ask for help as soon as you come in. Alice 3. NOT use it in this workshop. Windows laptop is preferred, since our expertise with Mac and Linux are limited. Once installed, Alice tool behaves exactly the same way in all environments though. Introduction to 3. D Printing. This camp will start with an introduction to 3. Dprinting, a walk- though of a typical 3.
Dprinter(loading filament, etc.) and a session on how to find and print simple 3. D models. No previous 3. D printing experience is required.
