Children of all experience levels can enjoy this half day camp. Children learn the game, controls, recipes and then learn the basics of hosting & networking on a local network that only our campers access. Next campers connect to different worlds hosted on our secure server and experiment with character skins, mods and custom maps. The week is full of challenges, team events and contests as the children build in the Active Learning World that grows over time.

Scratch - 3D Animation (Ages 8-16)

Students are introduced to programming by creating short story animated movies with a focus on fun. Campers will create animated stories using the Scratch animated programming tool which allows them to program interactions between characters. They will use a gallery of 3D characters, scenery and custom animations that are designed to help develop their story. The students will learn basic programming skills and have the opportunity to broaden their imagination. This is a half-day program. Students can add an additional program to make it a full day camp.
