The summer ahead is certainly looking much different from year’s past, but one thing remains true — we still want our kiddos to enjoy fun, enriching camp experiences! Summer is a great time to let kids try new things, make new friends, and learn new skills from engaging educators. Starting this June, Code Galaxy is offering a variety of Online Summer Camps that invite kids ages 7-14 to dive into fun with STEM — bringing the worlds of Minecraft, Roblox, and animation to life!

With kids having just transitioned from school classrooms to home this past spring, most are already used to virtual  learning environment, and Code Galaxy’s highly-skilled instructors are ready to walk students through live online videos in a class-based setting that’s creative and rewarding. Kids won’t miss a beat moving from school to Coding Camp. No need for a long break with nothing to do, kids can jump right into fun courses such as App Invention, Scratch, and more while connecting with peers.

How Does Online Camp Work?
Students can join a class time to fit their schedule and can log on from any computer to access the camp portal. Each week-long camp runs from 8 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. with classes lasting two hours each (8am-10am, 10:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m., 1-3 p.m., and 3:30-5:30 p.m.). Kids choose to participate in a class time that is best for them, and they are always working with a live instructor!

What Camps are Offered? Kids can create an Obby in Roblox, design their own world in Minecraft, learn to code, and even learn to create their own animations. The possibilities are endless at Code Galaxy! All courses offered are set at a beginner level so there are no previous skills required. Check out these courses:

• Intro to Roblox: Turn Creating an Obby into your Hobby: Students will be introduced to a beginner-friendly platform called Code Kingdoms, where they will create, design, and code their own beautiful Roblox games.
