iCode Cypress focuses on turning screen time into skill-building time, teaching kids how to build technology rather than just use it, through a gamified and hands-on curriculum.
Kids participating in the iCode Cypress Jr Programmer: Intro to 2D Game Development with Scratch camp will embark on a creative journey to build their own 2D games, such as Flappy Bird-style challenges and platformers, using the visual programming language Scratch. Developed by the MIT Media Lab, Scratch offers an accessible, block-based interface that makes learning programming engaging for young learners. Campers will gain essential coding skills by learning to integrate functions, create custom code blocks, and apply fundamental game design principles. Beyond coding, the curriculum also introduces concepts like flowcharting and principles of electrical engineering, fostering a holistic understanding of technology. The camp aims to transform students from passive "gamers" into active "creators," emphasizing hands-on learning, critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration. Each day includes a dedicated Personal Project Lab, allowing students to develop unique creations with instructor guidance.
A typical day runs from 9 AM to 4 PM, balancing instructor-led lessons with hands-on activities, including a daily one-hour Personal Project Lab where students work on their own creations.
This camp is ideal for children who love technology and gaming and are eager to transition from playing games to actively creating their own.
