Spring Break Camps

Join Math Monkey for fun and educational camps over spring break.  We have morning and afternoon camps.

All camps will meet for 3 hours a day for 4 days and each class will be limited to 10 students (5:1 student to teacher ratio). If students miss a class there are no makeups.

Schedule: 

Advanced Game Programming in Scratch

Ages: 8-16

Cost: $180

In this class, students will build on their existing skills in Scratch to design and develop arcade or adventure games utilizing advanced programming techniques and concepts.  They will learn professional programming methodologies and understand the complete program development process.   All materials and computers (Windows laptops) will be provided for students, however, they may if they wish, they may bring their own laptop or Mac computer to class.  Students taking this class should have some previous experience in Scratch as we will be going at a pretty fast pace.

Android App Development

Ages: 8-16

Cost: $180

Using MIT App Inventor, which is a Visual Drag-And-Drop online development tool similar to Scratch, students will develop exciting apps for their Android phones. The course will focus on basic concepts and provide plenty of hands-on experience to engage them in the whole development process. No previous programming experience is necessary, though a knowledge of Python, Java or Scratch would be helpful.
Even if you prefer IOS, this class will show students how to work through the process of developing apps. Android holds 75% of the app market so if you want to release an app to a larger audience, you will need to create a version for Android.
Laptops will be provided but students may bring their own computer to class if they choose.

Lego Engineering

Ages: 6-9

Introduce your young student to the wonderful world of robotics and engineering with the creative LEGO® system. Students will build several different models that feature working motors and sensors.

This is a perfect starter class for students that have never experienced working with LEGO WeDo kits.  Students will learn the basic of programming and how to use the sensors to make their models perform different tasks.

If your student does have experience with the LEGO WeDo kits then not to worry.  Our creative and engaging teachers will challenge students based on their experience level.

Lego Robotics 1

Ages: 9-14

LEGO Robotics combines LEGO building, computer programming, design, team-work, and problem-solving skills in a fun and challenging environment.

LEGO Robotics gives kids as young as 4th grade the opportunity to explore engineering, math and science. The process of creating autonomous machines that complete useful tasks is what makes LEGO robotics so much fun!

Our expert teachers will guide students as they build and test their LEGO robots and learn valuable engineering principles along the way.

This camp will introduce students to the LEGO NXT kits.  Students will learn to write programs and complete simpler task that require different sensors include light, ultra-sonic, touch and color sensors.  No experience is required.
