Wanna make video games? Love building with LEGO® bricks? This camp is for you. Learn how to create video games using Scratch, free software from MIT that you can use at home long after the class. Then, we'll bring the action to life as we build and program LEGO® mini robots. If you've taken this course before, don't worry! We explore different themes and make different games and robots each time. Parents, send a USB flash drive for your student to save projects, or create an online Scratch account for your student and send in the username and password.

Welcome to Guppie Tank Camp, where creativity meets confidence! In this fun and interactive camp, kids become inventors, creators, and entrepreneurs as they dream up their own unique products or business ideas. They’ll brainstorm, design, and “pitch” their ideas to a friendly panel of “sharks” (teachers, parents, or older students), just like on the hit show! Through hands-on activities, kids will learn teamwork, problem-solving, public speaking, and critical thinking — all while having a blast bringing their big ideas to life!

Learn to code as you create video games and program LEGO® MINDSTORMS® Robots. Over multiple sessions, we'll follow student interests to explore options such as Scratch, Alice 3D animation, Python, JavaScript, Arduino microprocessors, and more. No prior programming experience necessary. If you've taken this class before, don't worry! There are new games!
