Visual Coding Summer Tech Camp Courses

Pokémon Game Coding Camp


About this Camp:
In this class, we introduce students to programming concepts using Scratch. Learn to create an interactive 2D video game using your FAVORITE Pokémon characters. Scratch is a drag-and-drop creative coding platform developed by MIT. Students will be walked through step-by-step tutorials to create 2-4 working games and animations using popular Star Wars sprites. Basic computer skills are needed (this includes good keyboard and mouse skills). With time remaining, students will be challenged to modify or improve the games created in class. Bring a USB drive to save your games on the last day. poke.jpg
