The camp focuses on building real-world engineering skills through deployed software projects and professional tooling, preparing students for internships by 9th grade.
Thinking Feet's High School Computer Science Camp offers an immersive experience where students engage in hands-on projects to build, code, lead, and collaborate. The curriculum goes beyond basic coding, focusing on developing real-world engineering skills. Students will delve into advanced topics such as JavaScript, Unity, Data Science, Artificial Intelligence, and Machine Learning with Python. They will gain practical experience by building and deploying complete web applications with databases and live URLs, learning to work from written specifications, and participating in code reviews. The camp emphasizes professional tooling, deliberate AI usage with comprehension checks, and independent problem-solving, preparing students to ship real software and build a portfolio for future internships.
A typical day involves morning virtual coding sessions from 9 AM to 12 PM EST, followed by optional in-person collaboration at the center in the afternoons from 1 PM to 4 PM EST.
This camp is best for motivated high school students (rising 9th grade and above, with exceptions for advanced middle schoolers with prior coding experience) who are ready for a challenge in computer science and have a high degree of persistence, self-motivation, and a hunger to learn advanced technology.
