Codemoji’s Code It program’s mission is simple: teach campers to enjoy all things related to coding and the web while building problem-solving and creative thinking skills. Our teachers deliver clear and entertaining instruction to ensure campers have fun while learning complex coding skills using emojis that represent HTML text, which lowers the barriers to new coders and increases their excitement and understanding of computer science. Campers build animations, websites, and video games; explore multiple coding languages; program robots; create STEM-based projects both on and offline, and are encouraged to share their projects when they get home. Campers also work with interactive circuit boards to understand the basics of currents and work with their teacher to build a handful of fun hands-on projects.
