Code Camp
Designing games, jam-packed with awesome features including, zombies, unicorns, invisibility cloaks, and so much more. And then the real fun begins, as we use drag and drop code and logic to connect all the elements and bring their games to life!
During our Code Camp, kids will build their very own arcade-style game using drag & drop coding, a visual coding language which makes it easy to understand the role each function plays in their game. Kids will use a real mix of creative level design, storytelling and problem-solving to bring their creations to life.
All children walk away with their very own game playable via the Code Camp App, available on the Apple App Store and Google Play and also have access to the same tools at home after Code Camp has finished so they can carry on their learning!
