The camp is hosted by the Boston College DevTech Research Group, leveraging their expertise in developmental technologies and the "Coding as Another Language" curriculum.
The Boston College DevTech Research Group: ScratchJr Blocks and Bots Summer Camp offers an engaging experience for children entering Kindergarten through eighth grade, fostering learning in programming, robotics, and storytelling. Campers utilize ScratchJr, a visual, block-based programming app, and ScratchJr Bots, physical robots that can be constructed, designed, and programmed. The curriculum, developed by the DevTech Research Group, is called "Coding as Another Language" and emphasizes a playful, developmentally appropriate approach to computational thinking, coding, making, and engineering. Activities involve creating interactive stories and games, building and customizing robots, and seeing their code come to life in real-time. The camp also explores other educational technologies like KIBO, a screen-free, block-based programming and robotics kit, and new prototypes actively being developed by the DevTech group. The program aims to nurture innovators, creative thinkers, and problem-solvers.
This camp is ideal for children curious about programming, robotics, and storytelling, who enjoy hands-on activities and creative problem-solving.
