Tynker Camp: Adventures in Coding

What You'll Do

Set your coding skills in motion as you create and animate all week long. Take coding platform Tynker for a spin, learning animation and visual programming basics to make a collection of moving masterpieces from animated games to interactive worlds. No prior coding experience required.

Build block-coding basics to power your animated creations throughout the week. BE COURAGEOUS to solve coding puzzles and apply your newfound skills to a walloping game of whack-a-mole. Animate cartoons like the pros, drawing your own characters and bringing their words and movements to life through code. BE VISIONARY as you write and produce a three-act story, using visual programming to control your scene’s speed and animation type. Make a dance party music video that shows off your best animated moves. Wind down the week on a playful note by building a dynamic series of throwing, thieving, platform-hopping, road-crossing games.

Note: This weeklong class is more than just innovation-igniting projects—it’s an immersive experience full of delightful details, including interactive games, energizing music, snacks (see Additional Prep, below) and more! designed to build community, bolster confidence and deliver loads of camp-away-from-camp fun. Kids will have ongoing access to their Tynker accounts so they can keep working on their virtual creations after class.
