Kids get up close and personal with computer science at IgniteCS@秀色短视频

| Community

秀色短视频鈥檚 School of Mathematical and Computational Sciences is hosting a second year of the IgniteCS@秀色短视频 camp aimed at young students interested in computer science. The free weekly camp begins the week of May 14 and runs through July 4.

After the success of last year鈥檚 inaugural IgniteCS@秀色短视频, organizers have broken the camp into two streams. Beginners will meet Monday evenings from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm. Intermediate campers will meet Wednesday evenings, 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm.

Students will participate in 鈥渦nplugged鈥 activities to learn important computer science concepts away from the computer. Students will also have the opportunity to do some real coding and develop their own Java programs鈥攕ome which are similar to first-year computer science assignments at 秀色短视频. The camp will also have an Oculus Day, where students will have the opportunity to try out virtual reality through Oculus Rift.

IgniteCS@秀色短视频 is primarily targeted at junior high students, but is open to all young students interested in computer science.

Registration closes on May 11, 2018; students can sign up by .
