• Active Learning: Minecraft Camp · Week 4

  Fee $70  ·  Rising 2nd-5th Grades

  Minecraft is hugely popular because it is collaborative, open-ended and moddable. Our program promotes those qualities for a week of fun! The week begins with learning the game, controls, recipes and a bit about hosting & networking. Next, campers are connecting to different worlds hosted on our secure server and experimenting with character skins, mods and custom maps. By day three, the kids are building in the Active Learning World that grows over time. Whether adding a room, building a moat, or even creating a chessboard the possibilities are nearly limitless. As with all of our game creation options, this camp encourages creativity, storytelling, programming, and problem solving for their young minds.

• Active Learning: Video Game Creation Camp · Week 3

  Fee $70  ·  Rising 2nd-5th Grades

  In this camp children build a game described as a "platform" game like Sonic or Mario. Children have a blast as their characters overcome obstacles and opponents and then conquer the Big Boss. The character progresses on a long path/journey with the background scrolling behind it as adversaries, prizes, and obstacles are encountered along the way. Lessons on the basics will be similar to the Arcade course in the very beginning, but the class diverges and different programming techniques are taught in order to build this Platform game. As with all of our game creation options, this camp encourages creativity, storytelling, programming, and problem solving for their young minds.
