The camp provides a foundation in computer science through engaging, hands-on projects that allow students to create their own games and animated stories.
USD's Summer Computer Camps introduce young programmers to the fundamentals of computer science and programming. Students will learn to create their own 2D and 3D video games and phone apps using engaging platforms like Scratch and Alice. The curriculum emphasizes logical, creative, and algorithmic problem-solving through hands-on exercises and individual projects. Campers will gain skills in computer animation, game design, and basic coding concepts, fostering an understanding of how to use computers to tell stories, create movies, and develop interactive experiences. The program aims to inspire an interest in computer science and software engineering.
Every day, students are introduced to new computer science and game creation topics through structured exercises, often performed in two-person teams, and work on individual projects.
This camp is ideal for young people who are new to programming and interested in exploring computer science through creative game and animation development.
