Code Ninjas 2022 Camp Guide
Location: 807 IL-59, Bartlett, IL 60103
Spring Camp Schedule
Code Ninjas camps offer an engaging and fun environment for children to learn coding and robotics, build problem-solving & critical thinking skills, gain confidence, and have a blast with friends!
JR Makey Makey
Created for our youngest ninjas, in this camp kids will use a Makey Makey Circuit board and household materials, to learn about electronics, game controllers, and how hardware and software interact. Imagine vegetable bongo drums, and gummy bear pianos… these are a few of the fun projects they will build in this camp. Ninjas will work together to create, reflect, and share their work as they invent new ways to interact with computers!
Roblox with LEGO *NEW*
Throughout this camp, Ninjas will make silly dancing robots, a working safe with password protection, a racing rhino, and more! Using the LEGO SPIKE Prime robotics kit, Ninjas will learn the fundamentals of how to design, build, and code robots. They will also apply their knowledge of sensors, motors, and coding as they construct their own creations.
Minecraft 1: Moviemaking
Ninjas will shift their imagination into high gear as they learn scene-building, storytelling, and video recording featuring their own Minecraft world. They will jump into the basics of editing and mixing audio as they produce their final stories as short movies. Ninjas will have fun expressing themselves and sharing stories with their friends. They will leave this camp with a deeper understanding of how creativity and technology can work together to tell exciting stories.
Note: Requires a Java edition account not included in the camp.
Minecraft 2: Modding
Developed for experienced Minecraft players, this camp teaches Ninjas how to make unique mods(modifications that change the game)! They will create their own custom tools, weapons, armor, enemies, and more! By the end of the camp, Ninjas will be able to export their mods to friends and family to explore at home using Minecraft Java Editions.
Note: Requires a Java edition account not included in the camp.
Minecraft 3: Robots *NEW*
Ninjas will use code to control a robot in Minecraft Education Edition. Through simple programming, they will apply complex computer science concepts to automate the boring parts of Minecraft such as farming, digging, and more. Ninjas will use concepts like loops and functions to code crazy things like spawning hundreds of chickens from the sky!
Note: Requires a Java edition account not included in the camp.
Roblox 1: Intro to Development
In this hands-on, fully guided experience, Ninjas will learn the basics of game building and creative development in Roblox, an exciting, online gaming platform. Ninjas will spend their time building and exploring new worlds in Roblox before sharing their creations locally and globally. This camp will teach Ninjas how to plan, design, and build their own 3D world to create more than just a game!
Note Roblox account is required (free).
Roblox 2: Next Level
Experienced Roblox game builders will take their skills to the next level in this camp as they learn coding fundamentals and dig deeper into the game-making side of Roblox.
Note Roblox account is required (free).
Become a YouTuber
Campers will learn the basics of YouTube and design a custom video thumbnail for their very own personalized YouTube video tutorial. This camp advances existing Scratch, Robloxor MakeCode skills as campers create a more complex game that requires additional loops, inputs, and movements.
Adventures in 3D Printing
Through Adventure in 3D Printing, ninjas will explore design thinking and the innovative process as they learn to prototype and test new creations. Campers can choose a path of creating a new model in CAD or importing a design to remix.
Aerospace Club
