Spring Break Camp AUsome! WE:CODE

  • Autism Community Network (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Join Autism Community Network and Youth Code Jam for a fun spring break camp!

This camp is geared towards middle - high school students.

Your child will learn coding fundamentals through a survey of different technologies and hands-on, project-based learning. We understand kids learn in different ways, so we use different techniques to pique your child's interest. We use a combination of physical technology as well as other methods to explore code, such as creating retro-style games on the computers. Your child will build their confidence and sharpen future skills.

On top of learning, this is a camp to make friends and have fun along the way!
