Description:
This course is for the absolute beginner, who most likely has had no prior exposure to coding. No prior coding experience is required. The goal of this camp is to use game play to motivate the value of students acquiring basic coding skills, to develop a foundational familiarity with the JavaScript language, build an understanding of gaming logic and architecture involving game engines, and play the games ! Upon completing this camp, attendees should: • Better understand their own personal interest in developing further coding skills and knowledge • Have established a strong knowledge base for extending their coding ability either via further coursework or self-directed study • Have gained direct technical experience with fundamental programming structures; sequence, selection (if’s or decisions) and repetition (loops), variables and data types • Have gained direct technical experience with gaming concepts and game engines This is a great, low-stress opportunity for students to encounter technology and program development for the first time. No prior programming experience required – basic keyboarding ability and nothing more. Camp attendees must bring their own computer; Windows or Apple / Mac work equally well. iPads / tablets will not work.
