Java Programming Camp for Grades 8-12

The Academy of Creative Arts is running an Introduction to Programming with Java summer camp this August! The program is two weeks and takes place from August 6-10 and August 13-17. The camp is designed for students going into grades 8-12, and will serve as a great foundation for those who plan to take programming or computer science classes in their high school careers. No prior programming experience is required, so don’t hesitate to sign up for this opportunity to sharpen your technical skills!

Students will receive an introduction to computer programming using Java and Eclipse IDE. Throughout the camp, they will be taught how to employ logical thinking and will get familiar with algorithmic development and object oriented structures. Using trial and error, students will debug lines of code and see more general applications that programming can be used for, such as video games and websites. Learning about basic programming and its potential uses is a great starting point for students to begin thinking about their future professions. In also offers the acquisition of an important and in-demand skill in this age.

Our instructor, Neeta Kalve, has over 15 years of experience in software development, specifically in the healthcare and education sector. She holds a Masters degree in Computer Science and Engineering, making her the ideal teacher to guide young programmers through the beginnings of their coding journeys. Furthermore, she has taught web development and programming classes to help students uncover their potential.

The camp runs from 9AM to 1PM, Monday through Friday. Students only need to bring their own laptop and a positive attitude each day! Sign-up information is available at http://academyofcreativearts.com/java/.
