In this beginner-friendly camp, students become digital explorers as they learn the foundations of programming using two of the most widely used block-based platforms in the world: Scratch and MakeCode Arcade. Through guided mini-projects and creative challenges, students learn the core building blocks of coding—including variables, loops, functions, and events—and use them to bring their own ideas to life. Students design original characters, build simple game worlds, and practice level design as they transform blank project templates into games that reflect their imagination. Along the way, they learn how to debug their programs by identifying and fixing logic errors—just like real developers. The focus is on experimentation, curiosity, and developing confidence. By the end of camp, students have a basic understanding of how programming works and the ability to continue making games on their own at home.
