Coding Class with a STEM focus

by Wanda Vinson

DescriptionThis class will have a full STEM focus. Students will be given several choices during this 9 week coding session, and the choices are fluid - they can work on one thing one week, and switch when/if they feel like. We will work through Science and Math lessons in Legends of Learning, explore physics principles of science through Minecraft.edu, play math games through Prodigy and Tivitz, and of course learn to CODE! We will be in the Media Center using laptop computers. Headphones will be required. As usual, we will have computer coding lessons (javascript, blockly, and python) through Code.org, Google’s CS First, Code Combat, CoSpaces, Kodable, and Tynker. In addition, students can work on their critical thinking skills through online play, and several students have enjoyed working with presentation software such as Prezi, Powerpoint, or Adobe. Please be sure to talk with your student about what they are interested in doing during our coding STEM club time.

PockeTurtle: Levels 1 & 2 K-2 Coding and Computational Thinking

by Hatch Learning

DescriptionBackground: Computational Thinking is the problem-solving skill set used by computer scientists. Learning it takes on increasing importance for students as they enter a world that relies more and more heavily on the use of computers to solve challenging problems. According to famous mathematician Stephan Wolfram “Computational thinking is going to be a defining feature of the future—and it’s an incredibly important thing to be teaching to kids today”. The Curriculum: The PockeTurtle curriculum, designed by Stanford Artificial Intelligence professor David Zhu, teaches students to think like computer scientists by practicing the four steps of computational thinking: decomposition, abstraction, pattern recognition, and algorithm design. Each student is provided a programmable turtle robot and is taken along a problem-solving journey that involves mastery of four different modes of coding: Line Coding, Puzzle Coding, Card Coding, and Music Coding. Students will be challenged to ideate programs, test them, and creatively iterate their solutions. PockeTurtle brings programming away from computer screens and onto students’ desks, allowing students to see their reasoning play out physically in front of them when they run their turtle programs. The Course: “PockeTurtle: Levels 1 & 2 K-2 Coding and Computational Thinking”, which combines our level 1 and 2 curricula, will be taught once per week for 18 weeks. The class will be taught by Stanford computer science student-teachers. Register for one of our limited spots before the class fills up!

They will combine media elements to create and share their own interactive stories, animations, games, music, and art. Students will learn basic reasoning and problem solving skills. They will have an opportunity to think creatively, communicate clearly, use technologies fluently, and collaborate effectively. They will also create their own computer programs to implement computer games and combine multiple topics. Content Focus: o Use of computer, learn programming language, develop computer games and apply basic science o Students will be assessed in case they already have Scratch programming experience. o Students’ proficiency in technology are assessed during the first session. Based on the outcome of the assessment, we divide the students into groups of no more than 2 students. Grades Level: o Grades K-6 Materials: o Grade level appropriate materials provided Refund Policy: o As classes will run the full length of each session, there will be no make-up classes unless deemed necessary by the instructor. An individual class may be canceled due to weather or unforeseen circumstances. Cancellations will be brought to the attention of all participants as soon as possible. o No refunds will be granted for requests made after the start of the program.

Coding with Kids

by Epiphany School

by Oak Hill Auxiliary Programs

DescriptionGrades 3-5 Afternoon Session (1 PM -4 PM) For this camp, we’ll be exploring Scratch – an amazing - and amazingly fun - block-based programming environment. Campers need no previous experience with either Scratch or programming, but those who do will be challenged to expand their knowledge and skills. Everyone will create multiple projects - from simple games to animations to music, and build to a larger and more complex program at the end of the week. Technical requirement: This camp requires campers to set up a free Scratch account before camp starts. About Scratch: Developed by the "Lifelong Kindergarten Group" at MIT, Scratch was designed to allow children of all ages to learn to program in a fun and natural way. It is cute and silly and totally serious. Mastering Scratch allows you not only to create amazing projects and, if you wish, share them with a huge, worldwide community, but provides a solid foundation for any other programming language. This camp will take place indoors in the Oak Hill tech barn.

Block Based to Text Based

by Oak Hill Auxiliary Programs

DescriptionJuly 15-19 | Grades 5-8 | Afternoon Session (1 pm - 4 pm) Expand your programming skills beyond Scratch into text-based programs. We will begin with text-based programming games, and move to practical projects using bash, Python, and Java. Campers will learn to say "Hello World" in several languages, and will create simple, practical programs doing things like decoding secret messages, creating and controlling bouncing balls on screen, and (hopefully) writing a network chat program to communicate with each other. Programming experience is helpful but not required. About Text-Based Programming: Scratch is amazing - but most programming is done with text-based languages like Python or C or Java. And making the leap from block-based programming to text-based programming can be difficult. Students who love Scratch often struggle to get comfortable with text-based languages. This camp is intended to help. This camp will take place indoors in the Oak Hill tech barn.

Exploring Linux

by Oak Hill Auxiliary Programs

DescriptionJuly 22-26 | Grades 6-8 | Afternoon Session (1 PM - 4PM) Please note: Due to the materials required, registration for this camp will close July 7 Calling young techies! In this camp, we will explore Linux - everything from installing it to configuring it to using it. We'll focus on Debian Linux. Each student will install and configure their own copy of Linux on their own computer - perhaps more than once - and take their new system home with them at the end of the week. Along the way, we'll learn about - oh, everything. Hard disk partitions and network security and TCP/IP network, package managers and open source software and command line interfaces and GUIs. This camp will be the coolest thing ever for anyone who is excited about computers and cannot wait to learn more (and an absolute snooze for anyone else.) About Linux: Linux is a free, open source UNIX-based operating system. Today it runs most of the Internet, most cell phones, all Chromebooks, and an astonishing number of telephones, routers, Wi-Fi APs, thermostats, TVs, and other other invisible devices. Material Fee: The fees for this camp include an EOL (end of life) PC (with no keyboard, mouse, or monitor) that campers will keep to take home when camp ends to continue their Linux exploration. This camp will take place indoors in the Oak Hill tech barn. About the Instructor: Tim Rogers has been working with technology since before he dropped out of the Ph.D. program in Philosophy in the 1980s, reviewing software for the Atari ST while avoiding reading anything more by Ludwig Wittgenstein. He loves almost anything to do with computers - building, programming, networking, teaching, troubleshooting - but dislikes computer games, with the possible exception of Tetris. He is a fan of coffee, gardening, poker, and bicycling - in no particular order. His wife is a much better poker player than he is.

About the Instructor: Britt Camp began playing ROBLOX in its BETA testing days way back in 2008. He, a fourth-grader at the time, dreamed of one day working alongside the founders at ROBLOX headquarters in San Mateo, California— less than two hours away from his hometown. Little did he realize that in sixteen years, he would actually be teaching the game to some of the most brilliant students in Oregon! Britt received his Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy in May of 2023 before embarking on a six-week backpacking trip across Europe, during which he explored and digitally documented 17 cities and 7 countries, utilizing skills accumulated from his Cinema & Media Studies minor. Britt’s educational and teaching approach centers around experiential learning and aims to employ investigative methods and curiosity as the guiding forces of that learning.
