MetaCoders provides an authentic college experience on the UNC Charlotte campus with a strong focus on hands-on coding and a low student-to-instructor ratio.
MetaCoders Summer Camp at UNC Charlotte offers middle school students an immersive experience in coding and creativity. Campers delve into a new programming language, gaining fundamental computer science skills through hands-on projects. A core activity involves learning to code video games, fostering both technical proficiency and imaginative expression. The program emphasizes engagement and aims to inspire the next generation of engineers, web developers, and computer scientists. Students will develop problem-solving abilities and learn to translate creative ideas into functional code, culminating in shareable video games.
A typical day involves instructional time focused on coding and game development, balanced with outdoor activities and team-building exercises. Morning camps include an all-you-can-eat lunch at the campus dining hall.
This camp is ideal for middle school students who are new to coding or have some basic experience and are eager to explore computer science through creative game development.
