This camp provides a university environment for elementary students to learn coding and game design through a partnership with Black Rocket, a leader in tech-education, with projects shareable online.
The UNC Charlotte Youth Programs - Black Rocket Coding Camp (Elementary) offers an engaging introduction to coding and game design for elementary-aged campers. Participants will learn fundamental coding concepts through hands-on activities, focusing on creating their own video games. The curriculum is designed to be beginner-friendly, guiding students step-by-step through the process of game development. Campers will explore various aspects of digital creativity, including game design concepts, coding in languages like Lua (for Roblox), and working with graphics, animations, and sound. Projects created during the camp will be accessible on a password-protected Black Rocket website, allowing students to share their work with family and friends. The camp emphasizes a collaborative learning environment, with students often working in pairs or small teams to foster communication, problem-solving, and teamwork skills.
A typical day involves hands-on coding and game design activities, often in pairs or small teams, with instructors guiding campers through projects and challenges.
This camp is ideal for elementary students who love video games and are curious about how they are made, with no prior coding experience necessary.
