Scratch Game Design (Grade 3-5, Beginners)

Course Description

Scratch was developed at MIT as a graphical programming language, and this course is designed to cultivate interests of younger students. In this course, elementary school students will be introduced to fundamental programming concepts. Students will learn how to create animations, computer games, and interactive projects using Scratch.

Students create their own computer game and share it with their E2 instructor and classmates. No previous programming skills are required, but students should be comfortable using a computer and browser, and managing files.

Scratch Makers Workshop (Grade 3-5, Intermediate & Advanced)

Course Description

Prerequisite: experience with computer programming in a course or ASA with Scratch or other language.

The Scratch Makers Workshop empowers for young coders to apply their imaginations using both software and

hardware in real-world projects. Scratch was developed at MIT as a graphical programming language, and this course allows students to design and build projects that connect Scratch with the real world using Makey Makey kits. This course builds on student’s prior experience with Scratch to program and remix projects. Sample projects:

 Create and Program Your Musical Instrument  Design Your Scratch Operation Game

 Video Sensing

 Program and Build Your Labyrinth

Session #1: SSIS

 Date and Time: June 29th_{– July 3}rd_{, 2:00PM – 5:00PM}

Session #2: ISHCMC

 Date and Time: August 3rd_{– 7}th_{, 9:00AM – Noon}

Who It's For

 Young students who have already taken a coding class

mathematics score

What You’ll Get

 Creating digital

programs that interface with the physical world  Practice design-based thinking  Open-ended problem solving skills  Teamwork in modern programming methods

What You’ll Learn

 Hardware – software integration  Advanced Scratch  MakeyMakey  Variables  Remixing code  Paired programming

Introduction to Computer Science (Grade 6-10)

Course Description

This course teaches the foundations of computer science and basic programming. Curriculum and materials are derived from Stanford University’s introductory computer programming course by actual teachers at Stanford.

This camp will introduce students to programming in JavaScript, and is part of a full year-long series that is equivalent to college-level computer science courses. Participation includes access to a library of video lectures, examples, and exercises.

Session #1: SSIS

 Date and Time: June 22nd_–

July 3rd_{, 1:30PM – 4:30PM}

 Course Length: 2 weeks  Tuition: 10,700,000 VND

Session #2: E2 in D2

 Date and Time: July 27th_–

August 7th_{, 1:30PM – 4:30PM}

 Course Length: 2 weeks  Tuition: 10,700,000 VND

Because curriculum is individually-paced and there is an entire year of material available, students looking for an in-depth experience should sign up for both sessions.

Students are expected to bring their own Windows or Mac laptops, while all software and other materials will be provided.

Robotics Workshop (Grade 4-12)

Course Description

Based on the LEGO® MINDSTORMS® EV3 robotics kits, this course introduces students to the exciting world of robotics. Combining the versatility of the LEGO® building system and intuitive drag-and-drop EV3 software, this course will have students engineering cool robots and learning visual programming from the first day.

The workshop is an engaging opportunity for students to problem-solve in real life and gain exposure to STEM activities. This course requires the ability to work in teams and desire to have fun learning! For those who have robotics experience, we will build upon this prior knowledge.

Session #1: SSIS

 Date: June 15th_{– June 19}th

 Grade 4-6 Time: 2:00PM – 5:00PM  Grade 7-12 Time: 1:30PM – 4:00PM  Course Length: 1 week

 Tuition: 5,380,000 VND

Session #3: ISHCMC

 Date and Time: August 3rd_{– August 7}th_,

9:00AM – Noon

Sessions will cover similar content, so we recommend choosing only one location.

Who It's For

 Students interested in tinkering or wondering if engineering is right for them
