Mythical Coders & Creatures

Step into a world of magic and imagination at Mythical Coders & Creatures Camp, where kids (ages 7–10) will combine coding and robotics with storytelling and art to create their own mythical creatures and habitats. From programming dragons to designing enchanted forests, this camp blends creativity and technology in a fun and hands-on way. Campers will use coding and robotics to bring their mythical worlds to life while unleashing their creativity through crafts and storytelling.

What Campers Will Do:

At Mythical Coders & Creatures Camp, kids will embark on an enchanting journey where they’ll dream up their own mythical creatures and use technology to make them move, interact, and explore. Through a mix of coding, robotics, and hands-on art, campers will:

1. Create Their Own Mythical Creature
   • Imagine and design a unique mythical creature, such as a dragon, unicorn, or phoenix.
   • Build clay models or draw digital representations of their creature, adding creative details like wings, horns, or magical powers.
2. Bring Creatures to Life with Robotics
   • Use beginner-friendly robotics tools (like LEGO Spike Prime, Sphero Indi, or VEX 123) to program their creatures.
   • Code their robots to mimic creature-like movements, such as flying, galloping, or roaring.
3. Design Magical Habitats
   • Build creative habitats for their creatures, such as enchanted forests, volcano lairs, or underwater kingdoms.
   • Use art supplies and recycled materials to design immersive, mythical worlds.
4. Write Legendary Stories
   • Develop a backstory for their creature, exploring its magical powers, origin, and adventures.
   • Create interactive storybooks or animations using Scratch or Scratch Jr to share their creature’s tale.
5. Complete Magic-Themed Coding Challenges
   • Solve fun coding challenges, like programming a dragon to guard treasure, guiding a unicorn through a magical maze, or helping a phoenix escape a volcanic eruption.
   • Learn coding concepts like sequencing, loops, and debugging through hands-on problem-solving.
6. Showcase Their Mythical World
   • At the end of camp, kids will present their creatures, habitats, and coding projects in a magical showcase event for family and friends.
