The camp offers a unique blend of programming, robotics, and storytelling, utilizing innovative ScratchJr Blocks and Bots prototypes developed by Boston College's DevTech Research Group.
The ScratchJr Blocks and Bots Summer Camp at Boston College offers children entering first through eighth grade an engaging opportunity to delve into programming, robotics, and storytelling. Campers will explore ScratchJr, a visual, block-based programming app, and ScratchJr Bots, which utilize Micro:Bit technology. Through hands-on activities, participants will learn to plan, write, program, film, and edit creative stories using the robots they construct. The curriculum, developed by the DevTech Research Group, emphasizes computational thinking, problem-solving, and creative expression. Challenges are tailored to each camper's age and prior experience, ensuring an appropriate learning curve. Older campers also have opportunities to mentor younger participants, fostering a collaborative learning environment.
A typical day involves exploring ScratchJr and ScratchJr Bots, planning and programming robots, and then filming and editing creative stories with their robotic creations.
This camp is ideal for children curious about programming, robotics, and storytelling.
