Topics
Week 1: Coding Superheros
In this workshop, our coders will learn how to program in a new coding environment and develop their coding skills to create the illusion of a range of superhero powers, including:
Telepathy, Mind Reading, Transforming, Ghost Busting, Time Travelling and Teleporting. Coding will learn how to run these programs on an emulator and a real micro:bit computer!
Week 2: Robotics
Start to learn Python!
Learners work in teams to code a robot, completing a range of challenges such as; robot art, cops and robbers car chase, robot racing, automated / self-driving car challenge, and robot maze solver! This workshop uses visual coding skills as well as introducing you to Python programming. A superb workshop to get children to understand coding and the future possibilities this awesome skill has for them.
A day at Camp
No more than 3 hours of screen time per day
We run computing clubs in primary schools throughout Edinburgh, so we understand the importance of creating a healthy relationship with technology.
Our mission is to help develop thriving digital citizens of the future. As such, our screen time commitment is no more than 3 hours of screen time per day.
What do we do the rest of the time?
We incorporate an active and creative component in each day
This can include designing maps and characters with pen and paper before coding them or creating an awesome racetrack outside for our robots to race on!
This blend of learning and creative play has shown better results and happier children. Our main goal in every club is to have fun while learning!
