Who created the curriculum for this program?
Certified educators have worked to create interactive programs that tie the fun of the camp experience in with the amazing world of coding and programming. The curriculum is sequential and builds off of what the children learned the previous day. It will provide a challenge and ensure that children are problem-solving and thinking critically.

What additional resources will my child need in order to successfully complete this program?
Other than a computer with Google Chrome and Zoom, your child will need a quiet room to be able to concentrate in. A noisy environment can be distracting to your child and the other campers.
