The camp offers a project-based curriculum that allows students to focus on programming languages and game design concepts they find most engaging, including unique Minecraft Java modification opportunities.
Start Code Camps at Academe of the Oaks offers project-based summer coding camps for middle and high school students, with some programs for elementary students as well. The curriculum focuses on popular programming languages like Python and Java, alongside game design principles. Students can engage in creating games, simulations, interactive stories, and multimedia art. A notable offering is the Minecraft Java Camp, where participants modify a Minecraft world using Java, making object-oriented programming concepts more accessible and tangible. The camp caters to both beginners and those with some prior coding experience, with age-appropriate groupings to ensure deeper exploration of coding concepts for older students. Game Design Camp also covers techniques such as prototyping, level design, collision detection, and animation.
A typical day involves instructor-led demonstrations, forming groups for collaborative work, and dedicated time for game creation and coding projects. Students present their work to instructors for review and saving before lunch.
This camp is best for middle and high school students, and some elementary students, who are interested in hands-on coding, game design, and project-based learning with languages like Python and Java, including those who enjoy Minecraft.
