Description:
This course is for the absolute beginner, who most likely has had no prior exposure to coding. No prior coding experience is required but basic QWERTY keyboarding skills are helpful. The goal of this camp is to bring students from beginning concepts, develop basic skills, to acquiring a foundational familiarity with the Java programming language and development environment(s), Upon completing this camp the student should 鈥� Have a clear ability to gauge their own personal interest in developing further coding skills and knowledge 鈥� Have established a strong knowledge base for extending their coding ability either via further coursework or self-directed study 鈥� Have gained direct technical experience with fundamental programming structures; sequence, selection (if鈥檚 or decisions) and repetition (loops), variables and data types 鈥� Have gained direct technical experience with basic object oriented concepts and terminology (objects and classes, methods, etc.) This is a great, low-stress opportunity for students to encounter technology and program development for the first time. No prior programming experience required 鈥� basic keyboarding ability (QWERTY) and nothing more. Camp attendees must bring their own computer; Windows or Apple / Mac work equally well. iPads/tablets will not work.
