Class Experience
Have fun while learning to code! In this introductory Scratch course, we use creative play and games to teach the basics of coding. After taking this class campers frequently take the second camp in this series, Code Your Own Adventure in Scratch.
Campers will imagine a story, plan it out, and share it with their teachers and peers.
Once campers have planned a story they love, our all-female, rockstar instructors will model how to plan, develop and create a story using Scratch a drag-and-drop multimedia programming language designed by MIT for young learners. From beginners to campers with prior coding experience, we teach coding the way kids learn best: through play, collaboration, and imagination. campers will leave this course with a solid understanding of basic coding concepts and the Scratch platform, as well as an animated story they can share with their loved ones.

Response from Boolean Girl
Hi and thanks for sharing your daughter's experience with other parents. Glad that your daughter had fun, it is a point of emphasis for our camps. We think STEM, coding and engineerign can be FUN. We will look at the core hours. I wonder, how much longer would you want the core hours to be? Feel free to share thoughts at info@booleangirl.org.

My child learned a lot and had a great experience.
Improvements:
Drop-off/pick-up was a little more challenging than most camps because of parking garage, etc.. Would be nice to have it more streamlined if possible.
