The camp provides a unique opportunity to experience a college campus environment while learning cutting-edge creative technology skills from experienced instructors.
The UNC Charlotte - Black Rocket Coding & Game Design camp offers an engaging, hands-on experience for middle school students interested in technology and creative development. Participants will delve into coding fundamentals and game design, utilizing platforms like Roblox to build their own interactive experiences. The curriculum covers essential programming languages such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, providing a solid foundation in web development and digital creation. Students will learn to brainstorm game ideas, plan and build levels, create custom graphics and sound effects, and use basic coding concepts to control gameplay. The camp emphasizes a collaborative learning environment, with students often working in pairs or small teams, fostering communication, problem-solving, and teamwork skills. Projects, including student-created Roblox games, are shared on a password-protected Black Rocket website for families to view.
A typical day involves instructional time from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, with hands-on activities, collaborative projects, and opportunities to design and build games and animations.
This camp is ideal for middle school students (rising grades 5-8) who are curious about video games, music, and digital creativity, with no prior experience in coding or game design required.
