1 week immersive holiday camps for age 4 and up.

Learn to build mobile applications and games!

Available camps: Roblox, Javascript, Cubetto, Minecraft Modding, Android Apps Development and more!

Cubetto: Holiday Camp: Investigate through Code (Age 4-5)

18 - 22 March 10am to 12pm

In this camp, students will learn coding fundamentals with Cubetto. The Cubetto Playset is a Montessori inspired coding toy that allows children ages 3 to 6 to program a friendly wooden robot without screen and is powered by a programming language you can touch.

This camp is designed to equip students with basic understanding of Cubetto and programming. Students will learn fundamental coding concepts such as event and sequence, which will be helpful for continuing to other junior courses. Student will also develop problem solving and logical thinking skills through participating in fun and exciting class activities.

Electric Dough: Start An Electric Journey (Age 4-5)

26 - 29 March 10am to 12pm

In this module of First Code Junior series, we introduce an interesting tool for learning about science and computer hardware - Electric Dough. Electric Dough is a special dough that conducts electricity. Students make creative projects and experiments to learn about electricity, circuits, and the related scientific principles behind these experiments!

By playing with Electric Dough, students will learn various components and concepts in circuit electronics. Students will also gain better insights in how electricity works under instructor’s guidance, and they will understand better how electronic devices work in our daily lives!

3D Minecraft Modding: Design Your Own Mods (Age 6-8)

18 - 22 March 2pm to 4.30pm

Minecraft is one of the best selling video games of all time, and the ultimate pillar to showcase your creativity with building blocks. Minecraft provides a 3D canvas to create anything you have the resources for in the game, and just by tapping into the code, we now have the additional power to create anything we can imagine. The Minecraft modding class allows students to have full control over their 3D game world.

By teaching students programming and technical concepts behind video game modding, this course empower them with the ability to modify video games. Students will learn to draw 2D images using Pixlr and turn them into 3D objects in Minecraft; and that is just the tip of the iceberg of what they could achieve.

Through modding, each student develops a completely unique world. They will be able to share their unique worlds with others, creating a fun and educational experience.

Roblox: Code Your Own 3D Game (Age 6-8)

26 - 29 March 2pm to 4.30pm

Roblox is one of the most popular sandbox games constructed of Lego-like blocks with more than 65 million active users per month. It is a massively multiplayer online game creation platform for users to design and develop their own games as well as to play games created by other developers.

To create our own games in Roblox in this course, we introduce a beginner-friendly platform called Code Kingdoms. Code Kingdoms is a Roblox games creation platform in which students can learn to code and create their own Roblox games. Through programming Roblox games, students will be able to learn different computer science concepts such as events and methods in this course.

Robotics: Building Blocks of a Creator (Age 6-8)

18 - 22 March 10am to 12.30pm

This course is designed for young children to learn the fundamentals of robotics and programming. Utilizing the most advanced educational tools developed in the Silicon Valley, including Dash & Dot, Beebot, and Sphero, students will come to understand technology as a tool to solve problems and create useful things.

Students practice giving commands to the robots in class by working on puzzles and projects. Basic concepts in mathematics and programming, such as time, speed and conditionals, will also be taught during class. Through the intuitive interface of their iPads, they are introduced to block programming to control the robots, as well as create small animations and games on their screen. By the end of the course, our students would have moved beyond playing with their devices, and begin to see them as tools for a creative purpose.

Scratch Holiday Camp: Travel the World (Age 6-8)

26 - 29 March 10am to 12.30pm

The Scratch Holiday Camp is designed to teach young imaginative minds to create interactive stories, games and animation with travel as the theme. Students learn to code with Scratch, a block-based programming tool developed by the MIT Media Lab, to give young students hands-on first try on programming. Students learn key computer science concepts such as sequences, loops, conditionals and abstraction by building their own fun projects of animated stories and multimedia games. Students are encouraged and supported by professionally trained instructors to design creative games and to think about the programming processes behind the apps and games they see in daily lives.

3D Minecraft Modding: Building Interactive Mods (Age 9-11)

26 - 29 March 10am to 1pm

Minecraft, one of the best-selling sandbox video games, is also one of the best games that allow children to be creative and have fun at the same time. It is a game about collecting, crafting and building with blocks. Minecraft provides a 3D sandbox where you can experiment with everything. But why “punch tree to get wood” when you can create your own rules by adding new codes to mod the game?

In this course, students will be using a software that allows them to create minecraft mods with their own graphical and behavioral designs. Student will learn to create items and code for the behavior of the items, to create series of event with custom commands, and to make a collection of mods that depends on and interact with each others using blocks-based programming.

After this course students will be able to create projects consist of multiple elements . Student can mod their own blocks, item, structures and buildings in minecraft, create series of interactive events to make some fun features or even a minigame.

AppJamming Holiday Camp: Make Your Own Apps! (Age 9-11)

18 - 22 March 10am to 1pm; 26 - 29 March 2pm to 5pm

This holiday camp empowers students through teaching them problem-solving using technology to build mobile apps. From introducing fundamental computer science concepts, applying Design Thinking process to utilizing App Inventor as a language, we guide students to apply problem-solving skills to their daily lives. Adapting a curriculum used in Silicon Valley, we cover user-centric design and mobile app development. Students receive personal guidance from our professional trained instructors in thinking through algorithms, decomposing problems and formulating multiple solutions.

Roblox: Code Your Own 3D Game (Age 9-11)

18 - 22 March 2pm to 5pm

Introduction to Web Programming: HTML/CSS/JavaScript (Age 12+)

18 - 22 March 2pm to 5pm

Designed for anyone who is curious about programming or what powers the Internet, the JavaScript 101 course teaches the basics of web programming through a series of fun and engaging projects. Students start with structuring web content with HTML and styling with CSS to gain a solid foundation in static web programming. They then move on to learning fundamental computer science concepts using JavaScript. By programming dynamic web applications using JavaScript, students can visually explore and experience each line of code to firmly grasp the concepts behind, and they can also be proud of their creations and hard work by making their projects live online to the whole world.
