Computer Science 1 and 2
This course is designed to be a gentle introduction to basic programming concepts, such as algorithms, syntax, loops, and variables, through the engaging and familiar experience of a video game. Students will eventually write basic functions to start writing code to handle events--which is the basis for lots of coding patterns in game development, web development, and app development.
The Hall of Scientist
The world of science would not be possible without the long list of contributions that have shaped all the different branches of the study. By now, it's easy to forget that many of these concepts that feel so commonplace first arose because of one person's curiosity. This camp finds students going back in time to identify some people whose research provided new insight on various ideas, from the well-known like Charles Darwin who created the theory of evolution to the obscure like Sir Sanford Fleming who paved the way for the worldwide time zones as we know them.
