Wonder where the unique music from video games and movies comes from? This course offers students the opportunity to explore music making entirely from their computer. Students will use the audio programming environment PureData to create interesting sounds, synthesizers, and effects. Students will also explore the creative ways in which algorithms can be used to generate unique sounds and textures and think critically about the ways musicians can use the technology of today to create the sounds of tomorrow.
Students will explore PureData, a visual computer music
programming environment. Students will learn about how to
manipulate audio and synthesize sounds through a series of
projects. By the end of the camp, students will have the
skills necessary to continue to explore music and sound
creation through PureData.

Students will use the programming languages, JavaScript and processing, to create interactive graphics, animations, games, and generative art. Students will build rich scenes, learning to craft color palettes and complex shapes. Students will explore movement and randomness, thinking critically about our interactions with technology. Through this camp students will get a taste of what is possible with creative code for today and their futures – to explore, enchant, and connect.
This is a project-based camp. Students will learn how to create art and animations with a UX/UI design focus. Depending on grade level, some of the projects students will learn to do using programming include:
Cyber security is one of the most important topics of computer science. From personal malware attacks to large-scale hacks, cyber security is at the center of ensuring computer systems are safe and secure for all. In this camp, students will develop in-demand programming skills in Linux while learning about key areas of cyber security, such as web security. By the end of the camp, they will be able to detect concealed messages within computer files, prevent network attacks, and intercept traffic data to prevent password collection.
Students will learn about key areas of cyber security,
including hashing, network security, and cyber attacks and
defenses - all while building out real-world cyber
programming skills.
Through the camp, students will work on projects to:
- Manipulate text files using Linux commands
- Capture raw packets to gather statistical information on
the network traffic
- Assess a website’s vulnerability by formulating SQL
injections
- Employ steganography tactics to analyze suspicious images
Want to train computers to do things without explicitly telling them to do so? Learn the technology that self-driving cars are based on? Understand how Netflix chooses which movies to recommend to you? This camp is for you!
In this camp, students delve into the exciting field of Machine Learning (ML), a subfield of Artificial Intelligence. Through hands-on learning, they work on projects, such as image classification (where they will train an ML
algorithm to identify different types of organisms), all while developing programming skills in Python.
Students develop foundational knowledge in Machine Learning. Through project-based learning, students learn how to utilize large datasets and program ML algorithms.
Through the camp, students will:
• Develop real-world skills in scikit-learn - the most popular and useful tool for machine learning
• Learn to use the programming language, Python, for machine
learning
• Train machine learning algorithms, such as decision trees and bayesian networks
• Mitigate bias in machine learning outcomes

*Register for 2 or more camps and save $50 on each additional camp!This is a jam packed two-week camp, in which students are introduced to the breadth and depth of some of the most cutting-edge technologies in today's world. Students will learn the fundamentals of coding plus develop knowledge and skills in emerging technology fields rarely taught to K-12 students, such as AI and Healthcare+Tech. Each day is filled with hands-on activities and project building, allowing students to gain real-world skills and work together simulating a day-in-the-life of professional software engineers.
The purpose of the Emerging Tech Camp is for students to
develop real, usable foundational coding skills and gain
exposure to technology fields that are at the forefront and
shaping the technology revolution.
In the first week, students focus on learning the
fundamentals of coding in the programming language, Python -
one of the most widely used programming languages. They will
learn concepts fundamental to all programming languages,
including variables, conditionals, booleans, loops,
functions, and more.
In Week 2, students apply the coding skills they learned in
Week 1 to some of the most cutting-edge tech fields today.
Each day, they learn about a different emerging technology
and work on hands-on activities and projects in the given
field. On the final day of the camp, they choose the field
that most interests them and develop an in-depth programming
project. Students receive an Emerging Technologies
certificate at the end of the camp.
The fields they will be exposed to each day are:

Learning how to code can be hard, but with the right
support, it does not have to be! These small groups
introduce students to the most important programming
concepts that are found in AP Computer Science and
introductory college-level courses so students get a
headstart on their courses in a supportive, intimate,
failure-free environment.
This camp is intended for:
• High school students who are thinking about or
planning on taking a high school level computer science
course or an AP Computer Science course
• Entering college freshmen who want to be prepared
for college-level computer science courses
• Students looking to gain personalized instruction
and learn alongside a small group of peers
This is an introductory course on the programming language,
Java, and teaches AP Computer Science materials.
Foundational coding concepts - universal to all programming
languages - will be covered, including: variables,
input/output, conditionals, loops, methods, and data
structures, including lists and arrays (covering the
equivalent to many introductory college-level courses).
Through this two-week intensive, students will work on labs
and projects, such as:
• Program a two-player Rock, Paper, Scissors game
• Develop a virtual bank where users can withdraw and
deposit money
• Create a phone number generator
• Generate a password validator to check if passwords
adhere to a set of rules or not

I used to think coding was a very difficult thing to do, but this camp helped explain the basics of coding and I was able to learn at my own pace. I have more confidence in coding now than before, and the instructors were supportive and patient.” 10th grade student, Pre-AP CS
Camps meet daily Monday through Friday from 9am-12pm PST (12-3pm EST) unless noted otherwise in the camp logistics section. There will be a 10-15 minute break during each day.
For most camps, the day will begin with a group lesson with their instructor teaching students foundational coding skills in the specialized tech area through coding activities, games and exercises. After a short break, students will break into small lab groups with a personal instructor to put those skills into real-world application by building projects.
For all camps, students will be put into groups based on grade level and skill level.
All camps are online with live instruction.
