Block Code Adventure Lab
Dive into the world of logic and creativity! In this high-energy camp, students explore the fundamentals of computer science using MIT Scratch and Microsoft MakeCode. Campers will transition from technology consumers to creators as they design animated stories, build retro-style arcade games, and solve interactive puzzles. By using visual “block” programming, we strip away the frustration of complex syntax, allowing kids to focus on the “how” and “why” of coding while building a solid foundation for future text-based languages. Age 8-14.

Camp Overview

• Location: The City of Laguna Hills, CA

• Ages: 8-14 (Groups divided by age and skill level)

What We Offer

Our curriculum moves beyond basic screen time, focusing on logic, critical thinking, and project-based learning.

• Game Design (Scratch & Roblox): Build playable games and learn “if-then” logic.

• Minecraft Engineering: Use Redstone to teach automation and circuitry.

• Python & Web Development: Advanced campers dive into text-based coding.

• STEM Challenges: Hands-on activities that take code into the physical world.

Registration Details

Registration is managed through the Laguna Hills Catalog. Because these STEM programs often have limited capacity to ensure a high instructor-to-student ratio, early registration is recommended.
