Unlike many other STEM camps, DesignYOU! Code Camp integrates fashion and retail technology into its curriculum, making learning relevant and engaging by tapping into participants' existing interests.
The DesignYOU! Code Camp at the University of Houston offers middle school students a hands-on, immersive experience in computer coding and programming, specifically exploring its relevance to the fashion and retailing industries. Participants engage with platforms like Scratch and Python to develop practical coding skills. The curriculum includes creative and critical thinking challenges that connect coding to real-world applications, group activities, and STEM career exploration through field trips to retail environments. Students learn principles of design, digital creation, and how computing technology intersects with merchandising. The camp aims to enhance problem-solving, analytical, and technical skills, fostering an interest in STEM careers. Campers work on individual projects, which they can take home on a flash drive, and showcase their work at the end of the week, receiving certificates and awards.
A typical day involves hands-on coding and programming with platforms like Scratch and Python, engaging in creative challenges that link coding to real-world applications, and participating in group activities and interactive presentations.
This camp is ideal for middle school students interested in computer coding and programming, especially those curious about its applications within the fashion and retailing industries.
