Innovation & Technology Camps @ E2:
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

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.

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.
