Coding for Girls Summer Camp

Age: 14 – 18 year olds

Course Contents: Coding with Python & Algorithms

Target Audience: This camp is designed for girls who are in Transition Year, Fifth Year, and Sixth Year, who are interested to learn about algorithms and Python programming.

Skills Focus: The camp introduces key computing concepts while developing programming and problem-solving skills through Python. It aims to build participants’ confidence and spark interest in opportunities such as national and international programming Olympiads.

Ideal Participants: This camp is beginner-friendly and suitable for students with a passion for mathematics and a strong interest in computers or programming. No prior coding experience is required, though some familiarity can be helpful.

Note: Students who already have experience with Python and are looking for more advanced content may find the Senior Camp more suitable, as it covers intermediate topics and AI modelling.

Kiddo Summer Camp

Age: 11-12 year olds

New to Summer Camps

Course Contents: Python Programming & Minecraft Gaming

• This programme is designed for fifth and sixth-class primary school pupils who have an interest in technology, puzzles, and solving logical problems. They should be enthusiastic about learning how games and applications are programmed.
• Students are not required to have any prior knowledge of computer programming as classes will start at a fundamental level. 
• Minecraft Programming is mainly about learning the usage of Python in a Minecraft Game context. Students will learn how to create mini-games in Minecraft using Python code. Concepts of game scene-setting, user interaction, gameplay, score system, player and enemy spawn will be delivered through the course.

Kiddo runs from Monday June 30 to Friday July 4

Please note: Kiddo runs on a separate week to the other summer camps to accommodate primary school students. We ask that you adhere to your child’s correct age group.
