Club SciKidz offers a STEM.org accredited curriculum with over 70 themed camps, providing a fun, safe, and scientific environment for hands-on learning.
The Club SciKidz Costa Mesa - Junior Coder camp introduces elementary-aged children to the fundamentals of programming, games, and applications through engaging, hands-on activities. Campers will learn to program a Sphero bot using Scratch software and a tablet, exploring the rules governing robot behavior. Activities extend beyond robotics to include creating a Lego puzzle, designing binary bracelets, and building a phenakistoscope, which introduces concepts of animation and visual perception. The curriculum is designed to foster problem-solving skills and creativity in a fun and interactive environment, making complex coding concepts accessible to young learners. This camp aims to spark an early interest in technology and innovation, providing a foundational understanding of how programming works in the real world.
A typical day involves general check-in, an all-camp science activity, and hands-on projects such as programming Sphero bots with Scratch, creating Lego puzzles, and building binary bracelets.
This camp is best for elementary-aged children (6-9 years old) who are curious about how technology works and eager to explore the basics of coding, robotics, and app development through interactive projects.
