Explore the world of programming with Python! Learn one of the most versatile and beginner-friendly programming languages, used by professionals in diverse fields from software development to scientific research. In this course, students will be introduced to core coding concepts such as variables, loops, functions, and conditionals. To apply and practice the concepts, students will build interactive projects like Dodge the Meteors. Then, they’ll learn intermediate-level coding concepts like arrays, functions with parameters, and game physics! Applying these skills, they will unleash their inner game designers and build their own versions of classic arcade games like Brick Breaker, Bubble Pop, Star Invaders, and Pong. By the end of the course, students will not only have a solid foundation in Python but will also be able to design and develop their own arcade games, combining fun with practical coding experience. This camp combines content from both our beginner camp 'Python: Intro' and our intermediate camp 'Python: Arcade Games'. Needed Supplies: Bring your District Chromebook and charging cord.

Embark on an exciting coding adventure! This comprehensive full-day camp blends coding and creative game development. Students will use Scratch, a fun drag-and-drop coding environment, to learn fundamental coding concepts like variables, loops, and conditionals. Applying these concepts, students will build interest-based games, such as Pet and Ball, Shark and Fish, and Snowman Maze. They will creatively design characters and craft scenes to bring their own story and animation ideas to life. Then, they will level up to intermediate coding concepts like events, functions, and game physics to build engaging platformer games, including a custom Mario game. This camp is a perfect mix of fun and learning! This camp combines the content from both our beginner camp 'Scratch: Intro to Game Development' and our intermediate camp 'Scratch: Platformer and Maze Games I'. Required Supplies: District Chromebook and charging cord used during the school year that was to be sent home for summer.

Design. Code. Compete! In Video Game Design Hackathon, students of all experience levels bring their creativity to life by designing and coding their own interactive video games using block-based coding platforms. Beginners start by learning game design basics—character movement, scoring systems, and storytelling—while advanced students dive deeper into multi-level design, animations, and advanced logic. Campers work individually or in small teams, moving from guided challenges to open creation as the week progresses. Along the way, they’ll explore key concepts in coding, problem-solving, and design thinking while receiving mentorship and feedback. The week culminates in a Game Showcase and Hackathon, where all students present and play their games for judges and peers. Top projects will be submitted to CompuChild’s National Game Design Competition, giving every participant a chance to shine! Young campers (Grades 2–4) and Older students (Grades 5–8) Supplies: Bring your Round Rock ISD issued Chromebook fully charged to camp each day for better connection. If you do not have a District issued device, please let the instructor know when the welcome email is sent.
