Intro to AR Coding with Python

Grades: 6-8

Length: 1 week

Accreditation: Fully WASC Accredited (The Gold Standard in K-12 Education)

Prerequisite: None

DESCRIPTION

From time-traveling to the Jurassic era to navigating deep space! Teen Tech Explorers will embark on an adventure where Python programming meets Holographic Augmented Reality (AR).

No experience needed—everyone learns at their own pace, with extra challenges for students who are ready for more.

In this exciting camp, students don't just use technology—they create magic with it. Integrating Python coding with Holographic Augmented Reality (AR), students will build interactive adventures. They will code the rules of their world, making characters react and environments change. Using the Holographic AR technology, they will teleport inside their creations to explore the environments they built.

Along the way, students build creativity, critical thinking, and persistence as they debug and improve the worlds they coded.

Experience the Magic of Holographic AR: We turn code into an immersive power you control.

• Teleport Anywhere: Want to explore a sci-fi space station? Or an enchanted forest? With just a webcam, you can step into the environments you code.
• You Code the Magic: You code the interactions! If you cast a spell, it blasts from your hands. If you greet an alien, it responds.
• Code Comes to Life: See your Python code in action—watch as your commands instantly turn into real-time magic and movement in the AR world.

What You Will Do:

• Design Epic Worlds: Create your own vibrant backgrounds and characters, from mysterious planets to magical wonderlands.
• Code with Python: Use Python to give your world logic. Program a dragon to fly, a spaceship to boost speed, or a character to talk to you.
• Become the Hero: Solve mysteries, complete missions, or interact with the characters you created.
• Play & Create: Enjoy exciting indoor and outdoor camp activities that spark creativity and fun.
