Kids Game Summer Programming Camps in Portola Valley
|

Kids Game Programming Camps in PV  Programming Java with Minecraft Two sessions: 6/20 - 6/25 and 6/27 - 7/1 Now in their fifth season, these camps are a great way for kids who love games to learn programming. We use real programming with a real programming language - Java - on a real world server that your child will setup and configure. Kids enjoy seeing the immediate results of their learnings and are highly motivated to understand the capabilities and techniques of Java. The camp also draws on their imaginative abilities, creating new Minecraft mods that they've dreamed up but never thought they could actually build, like an arena generator or spawn an Ender Dragon or a TNT block that explodes when the timer reaches zero! At the end of the camp, your child will have learned: - How to setup and use their own Minecraft server - How to install customized mods to their server using Spigot - How to setup a software development environment - How to build a mod using Java - Programming basics - Java basics All camps are run here in Portola Valley by the Youstra brothers, students at Woodside Priory and Corte Madera. To learn more about the camps and register for one of the sessions, click one of the links below: For the next two weeks, PVSD families can use discount code PTO to get $50 off their registration.
