Post-Camp Info: Creative Coders

Post-Camp Info: Creative Coders

Thank you for joining us for a wonderful week in Creative Coders camp. At Classroom Antics, we believe that ongoing learning is very important. This is why we wanted to provide you some really great coding learning resources that can keep your child engaged in coding.

The software we use in the Creative Coders camp is called Scratch. You can also install it for free on any computer, Mac or Windows, using the link below. With this software, your child can continue programming new code or change their existing program code developed in camp.

Make Joysticks and Controllers with Makey Makey

A Makey Makey kit connects the world around you to your computer. With this product which we used in camp, we can make joysticks and controllers with household object for our games and programs we coded in camp. It really adds to the coding experience!

 

The Makey Makey Classic kit includes a circuit board, USB cable, alligator clips, and connector wires.

Coding Education Books

Another great coding learning resource is books. There are several books to help continue your child’s coding education. Many focus on the Scratch computer programming language and give students some creative ideas for new programs. Below are a couple of ones we like.
