AR Coding - Intro to Space Exploration

Young Space Explorers will launch into an exciting space adventure in this fun and educational introductory Holographic AR programming camp. This camp is organized into grade-specific groups: Grades K-2, 3-5, 6-8, and 9-12. This camp is fully accredited by the Accrediting Commission for Schools, Western Association of Schools and Colleges (ACS WASC).No prior computer knowledge is needed.Fun outdoor and indoor activities and plays are part of the camp experience.Students will dive into the AR coding and program their own space missions. They'll embark on interstellar trips and explore planets.As young astronauts, campers will create their own interactive stories, solve engaging engineering challenges, and uncover intriguing space facts. They'll program a spaceship trip, collaborate with friendly alien characters, and outsmart space villains in a quest to protect the solar system.Students will learn to develop engaging Holographic AR experiences, focusing on coding for environments, transitions, and movements. They will also enhance their skills in crafting interactive stories that animate their virtual natural worlds. This one-week camp is a gateway for creativity, critical thinking, and foundational tech skills, empowering students to confidently create and shape the Holographic AR universe they build.They will learn Holographic AR design, logic and coding. They’ll learn the Design Thinking Process based on the Stanford University Design School curriculum and design Holographic AR experiences that include coding for stages, transitions, movements, and multiple branches, engage in interactive storytelling, and hone their problem-solving techniques— all in a fun and supportive environment.What’s the magic of Holographic AR Coding over traditional coding?Holographic AR coding combines the foundational aspects of traditional coding with an engaging, interactive experience. Similar to traditional coding, students will learn programming logic and how to sequentially transform their ideas into computer programs.Beyond these core skills, Holographic AR coding provides a magical learning experience. Students don’t just see their coding projects on a screen; they interact within the imaginative space adventures they code. This interaction with a variety of planetary environments in the AR world is facilitated through a webcam, with no special equipment needed.This hands-on approach makes the learning experience more visual and interactive, bringing students' stories and creations vividly to life. In addition to coding, the program encourages designing interactive narratives and environments, fostering skills in storytelling and artistic design.Another key aspect for this age group is the emphasis on attention to detail and initial problem-solving. As children see the immediate effects of their coding, they become more engaged and eager to understand and improve their work. The hands-on activities encourage them to focus on details and develop their problem-solving skills as they learn to identify and fix issues in their programs. It's a process that teaches perseverance and adaptability, key for early learning and growth in technology.Students will learn the following:•Basic computer, keyboard, mouse, and Internet skills •Introductory Holographic AR concepts •Introductory Holographic AR logic •Introductory Holographic AR coding •Introductory visual communication •Interactive storytelling •Debugging and Problem-solving •Design thinking based on the Stanford University Design School Curriculum •Fun facts about outer space and astronomySpecial Offer: Register today to receive a one-year Adobe Creative Cloud Subscription & Adobe AI featured EXPRESS Premier Suite (valued at $240) while supplies last!
