Description

Sharpen your LEGO skills, because this full-day camp will put our LEGO® builders to the test! 

9AM-12PM: LEGO CITY - Minifigure Adventures

LEGO® fans unite!  It's time to create a vast LEGO® world for our beloved Minifigures!  Over the course of a week, students brainstorm and collaborate to build different aspects of a LEGO® City landscape.  What adventure will our minifigures go on today?! How about the Carnival, or Beach, Underwater, or Outer Space?  You decide and let's build it with access to more than 30,000 LEGO® bricks!

Students are guided in character and storyline development with age-appropriate LEGO®-building and design techniques.  Kids have fun while hanging out with friends and building with more LEGO® bricks than they have probably 'ever' seen!  Students have fun; overcome building challenges; and let the creativity fly in the ultimate LEGO® building experience!

12PM-1PM: Lunch Break

Students should bring nut-free lunch, snacks, and juice to eat and enjoy as they get hungry throughout the day.  Water and restrooms are available.  If weather permits, campers will be taken outside to walk and enjoy the playground nearby.

 

1PM-4PM: Beginner Coding with Scratch - Levels 1-4

Beginner Coding with Scratch® is a super-fun way to introduce your child to the wonders of Coding!  Drag, drop, click… you’ll be amazed at what they can do!  NextGen's curriculum keeps things fresh and introduces kids to new and cool ways to practice, create, and design with Scratch.  

NextGen SmartyPants teaches Beginner Coding using the Scratch Graphical Programming Language in the following four increasingly challenging levels:  

  • Level 1 - Introduction to Scratch: Sprites, Scripts, Brackdrops, Loops, and Music
  • Level 2 - Broadcasting, Decisions, and Variables
  • Level 3 - Clones, Custom Blocks, and Boolean Logic
  • Level 4 - Controlling Motors and Robotics using Scratch

Students do not need to choose a level prior to enrollment. On the first day of camp, the Teacher will complete an assessment and group students accordingly.  Kids that previously registered for the Level 1 program, will be placed in Level 2, etc.  Each level takes about a week (12-15 contact hours) to complete.
