About This Course

Take the lead in this online version of our camp by building your own interactive programs in a visual coding language designed by the MIT Media Lab. With Scratch, you’ll create imaginative games that send you as far as space, blasting away the meteors in your path! You’ll shift gears to VEXcode VR, learning to program a virtual robot to navigate mazes on its own with sensors and adaptive variables. As you explore math and science concepts, your pathway to learning Python and C++ begins—switch to the code viewer in VEXcode VR to see behind the scenes and start writing your own Python code. There’s no better way to dive into the exciting world of STEM!
