Coding & Robotics Bootcamps

Description:
Codehive’s Coding Bootcamps are intensive, short-term educational programs designed to introduce students to the basics of coding through Scratch and robotics. These bootcamps are perfect for beginners who want to learn how to code and explore the world of robotics in a fun and engaging way.

Target Audience:
Students aged 8-18 from underprivileged communities.

Duration:
8-12 weeks, typically during weekends

Content:

Introduction to Scratch: Understanding the Scratch interface and basic programming concepts using visual blocks.

Basic Programming Concepts: Learning about sequences, loops, and conditionals through hands-on activities.

Game Development: Creating simple games such as ping pong, maze games, or platformers using Scratch.

Interactive Stories: Designing interactive stories and animations.

Introduction to Robotics: Basics of robotics, including understanding sensors, motors, and the basics of robot construction.

Robotics Programming: Programming simple robots to perform tasks using block-based coding in Scratch and other compatible platforms.

Project-Based Learning: Students work on individual or group projects that integrate their learning in both coding and robotics, culminating in a final presentation.

Problem Solving: Encouraging logical thinking and problem-solving skills through coding and robotics challenges.

Outcome:
By the end of the bootcamp, participants will have a solid understanding of basic programming and robotics concepts. They will have created their own projects using Scratch and built simple robots that they can program. This hands-on experience is designed to spark a lasting interest in technology, coding, and robotics.
