The camp provides an immersive and encouraging environment where students can learn to create apps, games, mods, animations, and programming through project-based and hands-on learning.
The inGenius STEAM Summer Camp for grades 8-10 offers an immersive and encouraging environment where students can explore computational thinking, Python programming, and USA Computing Olympiad (USACO) topics. The camp emphasizes hands-on, project-based learning, allowing students to develop critical, complex, and creative thinking skills. Activities include an introduction to Python programming, covering variables, conditions, loops, arrays, string processing, nested conditions, nested loops, functions, and classes. Students interested in competitive programming can participate in USACO Workshop: Introduction to Bronze, which is problem-solving based and aligned with the USACO curriculum. The camp also offers courses in AP Computer Science Preparation using Java, focusing on building software applications and advanced programming concepts like sorting and searching. Beyond programming, students can engage in Business Builders: From Idea to Business Plan, where they learn to transform entrepreneurial visions into actionable plans, and Advanced Graphic Design, crafting digital drawings, logos, advertisements, and website layouts while developing a professional digital design portfolio. The curriculum is designed to empower students to be creative and productive with technology, fostering skills in areas like app and game creation, animation, and 3D modeling.
A typical day involves morning and afternoon classes, with advanced programming sessions having slightly different timings. Morning drop-off begins at 8:30 AM, with classes starting at 9:30 AM. Afternoon classes begin at 12:45 PM.
The ideal student is one in grades 8-10 who is eager to explore computational thinking, programming, and competitive computing, and who thrives in a hands-on, project-based learning environment.
