2023 STEM Summer Camp
Computer Programming courses and Lego Robotics
Nowadays, computer programming is becoming an extension of writing. As with traditional writing, there are powerful reasons for every child to learn to code:
Learn to code, code to learn!
Become computer-literate, become digital citizens! Are your children ready?

Courses
At Koo Chinese Academy, we have been teaching Computer Programming Camps to over two hundred students for the past seven years with great success! Our kids friendly curriculum and professional computer science teachers teach step-by-step computer programming fundamentals and coding skills as well as creative design to solve real-life programs.
In the past four years, over 150 students participated in our Lego Robotics camps and classes. The feedback from both students and parents are fantastic. The energy and enthusiasm our students showed in classes are simply overwhelming. Students learnt a great deal of science and technology while having a lot of fun!
This year, we are adding the new LEGO Spike Prime Robotics Course which is a more advanced LEGO Robotics course from LEGO Education using the all new LEGO Spike Prime Robotics set and Scratch Programming Language. Starting from August 2022, the International Robotics competition FIRST® LEGO® League's guided mission is only available for LEGO Spike Prime.

Blockly Programming Course
|
Blockly was developed by Google and MIT. It is a visual coding language that allows users to create codes by stacking blocks together. These blocks are used to create "chunks of code" that can later be translated into professional textual code. It typically runs in a web browser, and visually resembles the language Scratch.
