Penguin Coding School emphasizes an experiential discovery method, where students learn by building projects first, fostering a practical understanding of coding principles.
Penguin Coding School's summer camp in Park Slope offers an engaging and interactive experience for children aged 6-18, focusing on coding, robotics, and hands-on science. Younger campers (6-9) delve into the fundamentals of coding through Minecraft Education, while older students (8-12) explore Python and Microsoft MakeCode Game Development. Teens (13-18) can participate in a STEM Counselor-in-Training program, developing their STEM and coding skills while mentoring younger children. The curriculum emphasizes experiential discovery, where students build projects first and then learn the underlying principles, mirroring how professional software developers work. Campers gain practical skills in various coding languages, robotics, 3D printing, and scientific experimentation. The program aims to foster a love for coding and STEM, encouraging creativity and problem-solving in a supportive environment.
A typical day includes coding lessons, a snack break, 3D printing and science experiments, lunch and outdoor time, more coding lessons, and Lego Robotics.
This camp is best for students who want a balanced experience of coding instruction, hands-on STEM activities, and outdoor time.
