Children use the Lego WeDo 2.0 and Lego Spike Prime to design robots to solve real world problems. They learn to code their robots in interactive challenges. In addition to the basics of robotics, children learn key engineering principles such as force and motion, gear ratios and aerodynamics.
- Solve a real world ‘big problem’ such as pollution, animal welfare, dinosaur habitats
- Apply engineering concepts such as gear ratios, aerodynamics, motions
- Explore visual programming with the WeDo 2.0 and SPIKE Prime
- Build robots that use motors
- Program and utilize different sensors
- Develop structural design skills

Where: International College, Malthouse Theatre, Malthouse Road, Canterbury, CT2 7JA What to bring: Nut-free packed lunch, refillable water bottle Age Requirement: 7+ No prior coding experience necessary. If your child has been to one of these workshops before, then their learning will be extended further and they will not have to repeat the same content as before. Important COVID-19 related information: We will take every precaution necessary to protect our staff, our course attendees and their families. We will strictly follow government advice at the time of running the camp. This may include, among other precautions, a temperature measurement of students at the time of morning registration. More information about our risk assessment and mitigation procedures will be provided via an email closer to the time.Day Time Courses Monday, 28th Oct 2024 10:00 AM - 3:00 PM Minecraft Coding (Surreal Superpowers) Tuesday, 29th Oct 2024 10:00 AM - 3:00 PM Lego Robotics Wednesday, 30th Oct 2024 10:00 AM - 3:00 PM Game Design (Make a Video Game) Thursday, 31st Oct 2024 10:00 AM - 3:00 PM Scratch Coding Friday, 1st Nov 2024 10:00 AM - 3:00 PM Make your own Animation -

Python Coding 2 is suitable for students who have either completed our Python Coding 1 course or who have experience coding in Python. It is designed for late primary to secondary aged students who are looking to take their Python programming skills to the next level. Python 2 builds on the principles covered in Python 1 and covers object oriented programming in greater depth. Children will start to use popular Python libraries such as Pandas, Skikit for machine learning, and PyGame. We will also explore web development techniques using Python libraries such as Django. The objective of the Python 2 course is to help children become confident and independent programmers.
- Learn Python syntax (structure)
- Object oriented programming
- Use loops and conditionals (IF/THEN/ELSE)
- Understand variables (number, Boolean, string)
- Create and use functions
- Graphics and web design frameworks
- Data science and machine learning techniques
Python Coding -2 Timetable:
Challenges may vary depending on the child’s age/ability as we have multiple streams running within each session. What you would need A computer with Python (Python 3.7 or above from www.python.org) Age Requirement: 10+ System Requirements A computer (PC or Mac). Pre-requisite: Completed Python 1 or a Python holiday camp with Code Kids, or prior significant experience in Python.Day Time Monday, 28th Oct 2024 10.00 AM - 3.00 PM Tuesday, 29th Oct 2024 10.00 AM - 3.00 PM Wednesday, 30th Oct 2024 10.00 AM - 3.00 PM Thursday, 31st Oct 2024 10.00 AM - 3.00 PM Friday, 1st Nov 2024 10.00 AM - 3.00 PM -

The Python Level 1 course is designed for late primary to secondary aged students who are looking to learn to code using a proper “grown-up” programming language. Students will learn to code in Python and create fun games and useful applications. Python is particularly suitable for this age group because it is concise, easy to read and has multiple applications in the real world (web development, app development and other scientific uses such as data science). It is the most popular programming language in the world and is widely used by all the leading tech companies such as Google, Amazon and Facebook. This class is a great introduction to both fundamental coding concepts and the Python programming language. After this course, students will be comfortable coding in Python and have the confidence to extend their knowledge at home.
- Learn Python syntax (structure)
- Use loops and conditionals (IF/THEN/ELSE)
- Understand variables (number, Boolean, string)
- Create and use functions
- Use all of the above to make games and robot chat bot applications
