These camps provide a unique opportunity for students to move from game players to game creators, developing real STEM skills through engaging and popular platforms like Roblox.
UNC Charlotte Youth Programs, in partnership with Black Rocket, offers coding camps designed to introduce middle school students to various aspects of technology and coding. These immersive day camps focus on hands-on experiences in areas like game design, eSports, and virtual reality. Students will gain foundational coding skills, learn design thinking, and develop creativity as they bring their ideas to life. For example, in the 'Make Your First Video Game/Roblox Makers' camp, participants learn to build 2D video games and design interactive experiences within the Roblox® universe using Roblox Studio tools. Projects are often made available on a password-protected Black Rocket website for students to share with family. No prior coding experience is required, making these camps ideal for beginners eager to explore the world of technology and game creation.
A typical day involves instructional time from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, with opportunities for hands-on coding, game design, and creative technology exploration.
This camp is best for middle school students (rising grades 5-8) who are curious about technology, love video games, and want to learn how to create their own digital experiences without prior coding knowledge.
