*The event has already taken place on this date: Fri, 08/14/2020
This weeklong experience for 8-12 year olds creates a special community of joy and learning. Our STEM camps in Buffalo are held from 8am-4pm Monday through Friday at University at Buffalo. On campus in college classrooms, students are guided by an adult instructor through daily activities exploring science and technology. We maintain a 10:1 student/teacher ratio for safety and to optimize learning new skills with new friends.

Coding
Want to make a video game? A music video? A cartoon? Students can bring their imaginations to life with Scratch coding!
Utilizing the technology of the Raspberry Pi 2 Model B, our students learn how to set up their very own computer and Linux operating system at coding camp. From there, they're introduced to the world of open-source software and Scratch- a programming language specifically geared towards their age group.
We teach girls how to think like a programmer in an intuitive, kid-friendly way. Much like reading- after one learns to code, one can code to learn. The potential behind this new type of language is enormous and unstoppable.
Top skills learned in this class:
- Scratch programming
- Open source software
- The Linux environment
- Algorithm development
- Creative problem solving
Every student takes home:
- A Raspberry Pi computer
- Take-home version of Linux operating system
- USB memory stick with her projects
