About this camp

Tech Academy's "Build Real Games & Apps Coding Camp" offers a hands-on, project-based learning environment where students actively engage in creating games, applications, and websites. The curriculum covers a range of programming languages and tools, including Scratch, Python, Java, and various web design technologies. Students will learn to design levels, characters, and game mechanics from scratch, gaining practical experience in software development and interactive storytelling. The camp emphasizes building tangible projects that students can showcase, fostering a sense of accomplishment and reinforcing academic skills. Instructors provide personalized attention, ensuring that both first-time coders and experienced programmers are challenged and supported in their learning journey.

What a typical day looks like

Students check in, meet their instructor, and get settled at their workstations. The instructor walks through the day's topic step by step, followed by hands-on time for students to work on projects like coding games, programming robots, or designing 3D models. There's a 10-15 minute break for snacks, and at the end of the day, students share what they built and save their work.
