2020 SUMMER CAMP

CANCELLED DUE TO THE

HEALTH RISKS OF COVID-19 

​

Please join us next summer!

Registration opens November 15, 2020.

Summer Camp
Python and Robotics

Marty the Robot is a real humanoid robot designed to teach kids about computer programming. Marty can walk, turn, dance, kick a football, and engage with young aspiring coders in ways that remote controlled cars and toys cannot.  S/he is a popular teaching tool in the UK and we've brought her to the US to share one of the most likable robots we've encountered!  All coders learn the principles of programming using our proprietary teaching curriculum, which is then translated into fun and interactive hands-on coding practice with Marty. Younger coders start with Scratch and move on to Python at their own pace. No previous coding experience is required.

This program is offered as a standalone one-week option (Level A)
or as a combined and progressively more advanced two-week option (Levels A & B).

PYTHON & ROBOTICS GRADES 3-5

PYTHON & ROBOTICS GRADES 6-8

Summer Camp
JavaScript & Robotics

Misty the Robot is a developer robot designed for programmers who want to test their ideas on a real-world AI platform. Misty has a high-resolution camera and face recognition capabilities with microphones and sensors to track positional information and the sounds of her environment. Misty also has an engaging personality!  She can express fear, love, goofiness, and control her arms and legs to wave, point, and dance. Coders learn computer programming using JavaScript and develop their own AI programs for Misty. Previous coding experience is helpful but not required.

This program is offered as a standalone one-week option (Level A)
or as a combined and progressively more advanced two-week option (Levels A & B).

JAVASCRIPT & ROBOTICS GRADES 9-10

JAVASCRIPT & ROBOTICS GRADES 11-12

All About Us

CODEMAKERS offers summer coding and robotics camps to kids and teens in the Boston area. ​ ​Our coders learn the core principles of programming in a relaxed and fun environment and gradually build the technical skills needed to develop their own robotics projects.  Summer camp sessions are taught in small groups of four by enthusiastic computer science and engineering majors and grad students.

​

In keeping with our commitment to helping kids and teens in underserved communities, a portion of summer camp proceeds is used to support The Teen Center at St. Peter in Dorchester and the Science Club for Girls in Cambridge. For more information about our giving program, please contact us.
