The learning Material:
We prefaced the camp with a very user-friendly coding drone simulation program. It tied in our environmental theme of ocean pollution. The camper's learned block coding and the basic idea of sensors and variables in VEX's ocean cleanup bot simulator. The program is effective in teaching problem solving, clarity/communication, and basic coding for any age group. We have used the program in the past for a Hour of Code event for our high school members. The ease of using the program helped us build a curriculum that was flexible to the camper's proficiency in coding. We also taught them about coding in the robotics field of occupations and possible jobs available if they took interest in this area of coding.
