When Digital Meets Physical

Can you learn coding without a computer? This exploratory camp introduces kids to basic programming concepts, builds spatial and problem-solving skills, and instills creativity and resilience. Discover the connection between the digital and physical worlds by making friends with a tiny robot (Ozobot) and building projects on a friendly drag-and-drop programming interface (Scratch)!
