The Travelling Code Camp

The Travelling Code Camp is a week long programming course for kids of all ages. It aims to introduce them to the world of software development by using Processing to make a game.

The course teaches all the key elements of programming, which are fundamentals, regardless of which programming language you use.

This game was written in Processing and will be used to run the upcoming camp. At the end, each participant would have made their own version of a space adventure, fully coded by themselves.

They can then apply their knowledge to making any simple program. It would also give them an easy access to learning more advanced programming languages for desktop applications.

What We Do

And why you should sign up

Creative Learning

Unleash your creativity by designing your own game and learn to code while you're at it. Programming is part of the technical world, but it requires creativity for innovative solutions.

Logical Thinking

Programming is a skill and it requires logical thought process. This course will improve your problem solving, and show you how to approach everyday things methodically.

Hands-on

You will get a chance to do all your own programming, from start to end. The learning process will be completely interactive; for every programming concept, you will develop a stage of your game.

Beginner Friendly

Don't worry if you've never done programming before. This course requires nothing but passion and enthusiasm. It is designed as an introductory program, the first
step for software development.

Quick To Start

The course uses Processing.js to introduce programming. A language that creates web-applications and doesn't require setting up any softwares. Just open your notepad and start typing.

Life Skills

In this day and age, where everyone is dependent on a computer, programming is a necessary skill. Know how your technology works so you can
be in control.

Did you know?

The first known use of the word “computer” was in 1613 in a book called The Yong Mans Gleanings by English writer Richard Braithwaite.

The first computer programmer was a woman.
In 1843, Ada Lovelace described an algorithm for the Analytical Engine to compute Bernoulli numbers. Since the algorithm was considered to be the first specifically written for implementation on a computer, she has been cited as the first computer programmer.

The first computer “bug” was named after a real bug.
A moth was discovered stuck in a relay of the Mark II computer by Grace Hopper, an admiral in the US Navy. Before it was recorded on her note, the moth had been ‘debugged’ from the system.
