Genius Gems offers a unique learning environment where children can explore STEM concepts through hands-on creativity and play, inspired by the 4 P's (projects, passion, peers, and play) philosophy.
In the Genius Gems Game Design Lab, campers embark on a creative journey to design and code their own digital games. Utilizing Scratch, a block-based visual programming language, and interactive sensors, students learn fundamental computer programming concepts such as sequences, variables, loops, conditional logic, objects, threads, and message passing. The camp emphasizes hands-on, project-based learning, encouraging campers to invent, prototype, and test new ideas. Activities blend creativity, logic, and teamwork, fostering critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Campers will work with various hardware and software, including robots, to bring their game ideas to life. The program aims to solidify their understanding of coding principles while advancing their appreciation for diverse coding applications.
A typical day involves hands-on activities where campers use block-based coding to design games, control robots, and complete coding challenges, with breaks for snack and lunch.
This camp is ideal for elementary-aged students who are curious about how games are made and eager to explore the fundamentals of coding and design in a fun, interactive environment.
