Edison Codes 2020

Edison Codes 2020 by CODEie is a coding boot camp for young girls and boys in 3rd – 9th grades. In this one of a kind events, we aim to introduce young minds to critical values of teamwork, problem solving, algorithmic thinking and basic coding. This event inspires students to become creators and problem solvers of the future.

This year CODEie has reimagined this boot camp to include Python and Robotics. This will expand the reach of this coding camp to include students with diverse skill sets and will give students a more immersive and wider experience with computers.

This high energy, structured, fun filled day is designed to empower children to bring their ideas to life and to encourage them to be creative through the making of animations, games, and other applications.

4th Coding Boot Camp for Kids

Date - Feb 29th

Location – J.P Stevens High School
855 Grove Ave, Edison, NJ 08820

Event time is 8:45 am to 3 pm

Coding Fair is a day long event that will give students an opportunity to Learn and Create Computational Technology. The event will serve as an open invitation to dedicated students who have a passion for learning about computer science and STEM-related fields. As organizers, we plan to provide students with the mentoring to excel in this new and growing field. By giving students the opportunity to learn, build, and collaborate with other passionate individuals we hope to both broaden their current understanding of computer science and serve as a base for their future achievements.

This is an opportunity for 3rd to 9th grade young minds to experience how to create computational artifacts in a day. Students of Elementary/Middle and High school will come together in groups to create a piece of technology and will become proud owner of that.

Coder Level

Please select appropriate coding level for your child based upon the description provided below

BEGINNER-I (Grades 3rd – 8th)

  1. This level of Coding Fair is designed for the students who have very little to no prior experience with coding.
  2. Students in this level will be introduced to sequencing, problem solving, coding and robotics.

 

Software Requirement:

  1. Students will need a Scratch ID. If your child does not have a scratch account, please visit https://scratch.mit.edu/ to create a scratch account for your child.
  2. It is helpful for younger children to have their Scratch ID and Password written on an index card. This will avoid any login issues with forgetting ID or password.
  3. Back up: In the past we have encountered connectivity issues with some devices that are not able to connect to the internet. We highly recommend that you download an offline version of the scratch software: https://scratch.mit.edu/download

 

BEGINNER-II (Grades 3rd – 8th)

  1. This level of Coding Boot Camp is designed for the students who have attended this Coding Boot Camp in the past or have 20-30 hours of coding experience with the block-based programming.
  2. It is expected that students who register for this group are familiar with sequencing and logical structures.
  3. Students in this level will be introduced to pattern recognition, application of logical structures and abstraction.

 

Software Requirement:

  1. Students will need a Scratch ID. If your child does not have a scratch account, please visit https://scratch.mit.edu/ to create a scratch account for your child.
  2. It is helpful for younger children to have their Scratch ID and Password written on an index card. This will avoid any login issues with forgetting ID or password.
  3. Back up: In the past we have encountered connectivity issues with some devices that are not able to connect to the internet. We highly recommend that you download an offline version of the scratch software: https://scratch.mit.edu/download

 

INTERMEDIATE-I JavaScript (Grades 5th – 9th)

  1. This level of the Boot Camp is designed for the students who have prior experience with block based or text-based programming and have coding experience of over 40 hours.
  2. Students enrolled in the level should be familiar with the idea of functions and various logical structures.
  3. Students in this group will be introduced to problem solving, sequencing, robotics, drawing, and animation using JavaScript.

 

Software Requirement:

  1. Students will need to create an account on https://editor.p5js.org/. In an ideal scenario, students will not need anything else. All the work will be stored online.
  2. Back up: In the past we have encountered connectivity issues with some devices that are not able to connect to the internet. We highly recommend that you download an offline version of the scratch software: https://scratch.mit.edu/download

 

INTERMEDIATE-II Python (Grades 7th – 12th)

  1. This level of the Boot Camp is designed for the students who have experience with block-based or text-based programming and have coding experience of over 80 hours.
  2. It is expected that students who enroll for this level have been exposed to various problem-solving constructs and have developed some ability to think abstractly.
  3. Students in this group will be introduced to the fundamentals of Python, variables, logical structures and problem solving.

 

Software Requirement:

  1. Students will need to create an account on “pythonanywhere” by visiting https://www.pythonanywhere.com/login/. In an ideal scenario, students will not need anything else. All your work will be stored online.
  2. Once your account is created, go to the “account” tab, click on the “teacher” tab and nominate “codeie” as your teacher.
