Students learn Java programming in a fun, understandable, step-by-step way.
We'll use the Java-based Processing® language to construct interactive games, graphics, and animations.
Plus, we'll code a robot by applying new skills to control lights and a motor on the Arduino-based Wink robot.
Prerequisite:
- Comfortable typing 20+ wpm
11 yr olds with completion of text-based coding course can attend
Java Coding Skills
Camp projects cover coding fundamentals such as classes, variables, functions, loops, conditionals, arrays, and basic object-oriented programming (OOP), including linked lists and inheritance. By end of week, students code graphical games - including a survival game, digital pet game and others!
Team Skills
Experience team coding and problem-solving as you and a partner program the Wink robot. Learn about team problem-solving and discuss coding options for some robot missions.
Robot Coding
Students program actions for the Arduino®-based Wink robot. Your code will activate motors, sensors and on-board lights to make the Wink dance, race, and solve mazes.
