ICC MAIN CENTER SUMMER CAMPS 2024- Yoga, Chess, Game Design and Creative Coding Camp
Description
GAME DESIGN AND CREATIVE CODING

In this camp, students will be introduced to text-based programming and creative coding using P5 JavaScript. JavaScript is a versatile language and coding with the p5.js library presents endless possibilities of what students can create. Students will learn computer programming fundamentals such as conditionals, loops, functions, and objects. They will apply these concepts to make games and digital designs. On the last day of the camp, students will test their knowledge by solving fun coding challenges.

Those who took this camp last year can also enroll; we have all new projects this year. Beginners to advanced, all skill levels are welcome.
