This spring learn and build cool projects from the safety of your home. We ship everything kids need to enjoy a hands-on workshop and provide Live Instructor-led STEM workshops. The maker projects (STEM kit contains 5 unique projects and program fees includes the kit).

This is a laugh-out-loud, never stop moving camp! Play comedy/improv games that create unusual situations where you have to say “yes, and…” by adding to the idea, making it your own and causing the rest of the campers to fall down laughing! If you are called like a dog, do you get on all fours, bark, and the skit continues or what do you do? Learn amazing techniques to think on your feet that will help you in everything you ever do. This camp is non-stop fun!

Students will have fun engaging their artistic side in our Digital Art camp! Create and edit images, shapes, and text, and learn how to make photo collages, use selection tools, filters, digital brushes and more! This is an introduction to photo editors and visual communication, solving visual problems with digital solutions. Add to your portfolio every day to show friends and family. Throughout the course, students will establish proficiency with the photo editor interface and tools, and will gain an understanding of file formats, color management, image resolution, and pixel depth for differing output needs. They will learn about texturing, compositing, and various effects that can be applied when creating and manipulating images. Kids and teens will be grouped by age and level. Maximum number of students will be 4 in a virtual setting.

This camp introduces students to coding with Scratch, a block-based programming language that exposes students to basic coding constructs in a creative, engaging way. Learn to use loops, counters, conditionals, and other basic coding constructs through building projects in Scratch. Build fun animations, keep score, change backdrops, create colorful characters, and learn to accept user input and respond to keys or mouse clicks! Through application and practice, students will learn the fundamentals of programming.

By learning how to program computers in ComputerCraft, students gain extra control over their Minecraft worlds and can create new and exciting things. ComputerCraft is a modification for Minecraft that’s all about computer programming. It allows students to build in-game Computers and Turtle Robots, writing programs for Minecraft using the Lua programming language.

Programs at the Wize Computing Academy follow K–12 Computer Science Standards and are designed to meaningfully extend STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts & Math) learning and expanding a child’s mind through the development of critical thinking, logic and reasoning skills. We prepare your students to be the innovators, educators, leaders and learners of the 21st century!
