ONE LAST LOOK AT OUR SUMMER CAMPS! 🚀✨
Summer camp may be over, but we still had a few more brilliant moments to share! 💚
Across the summer, our ComputerXplorers have been coding, creating, building, designing and problem-solving, all while trying new things and having plenty of fun along the way!
👽Alien Mask Design — Our explorers let their imaginations run wild as they designed their own aliens, thinking about the special features they might need to survive on another planet. A fun way to develop creativity, design thinking and problem-solving skills!
🚀 Alien Survival Pods — It was time to become space engineers! Campers designed and built shelters to protect an astronaut on an unknown planet, thinking carefully about strength, stability and survival needs such as food, water and oxygen. The challenge put their planning, engineering and creative-thinking skills to the test.
💻 Micro:bit Secret Messages — Our explorers got coding with BBC micro:bits, creating secret messaging systems and sending coded messages between devices! They practised sequencing, computational thinking and problem-solving, before using what they had learned to experiment with their own messages.
🛸 Scratch & ScratchJr Space Adventures — Our explorers brought their imaginations to the screen by creating animated space stories using ScratchJr and Scratch! With activities that can be adapted for different ages and abilities, everyone could get involved at their own level. They combined coding, sequencing, logical thinking and storytelling to control their characters and bring their ideas to life.
And that wraps up an action-packed summer at ComputerXplorers! ☀️🚀
A huge thank you to everyone who joined us at Merdon Junior School and Swaythling Primary School. It’s been fantastic watching our explorers try new things, tackle challenges, develop new skills, build confidence, make friends and, most importantly, have fun! 💚
We hope everyone who joined us had an amazing summer — we certainly did! ☀️💻
Keep an eye out for more ComputerXplorers activities and future holiday camps! 👀🚀
