Introduction

This camp is a subset of the Early Creators Core Curriculum (EC). Students learn via fun and engaging games and puzzles, whilst being facilitated by the teacher to problem solve, think of solutions, and code. Each lesson is scaffolded and learning objectives of each segment build upon earlier ones.

What do students learn? (from the child's lens)

Help cartoon friends with tasks like caring for pets, finding tools, serving food and rescuing your best friend! In order to be helpful, you must solve puzzles that hone your coding skills.

Teachers will teach you how to code well and efficiently, so that you do not tire your friends out!

Then, use your coding skills to create your own games.

What do students learn? (from the adult's lens)

Students learn:

1 . Coding

• Introduction to code
• Sequencing
• Loops
• Event-based programming

2 . Application of code

• Code movements, sounds and animation in a game.
• Using code to automate pet caring.

3 . Computational Thinking

Learn simple yet powerful problem solving approached that can be applied to solving difficult code levels. Strategies can also be applied to other subjects, even in life!

4 . Testing

Build critical thinking and troubleshooting ability by recognising errors and fixing code. This creates independent learners.

5 . Presenting

Enhance presentation skills and confidence while sharing with campmates!
