Click on one of the blocks below to learn more about the activities conducted.
Day 1 - Python
Starting off strong, we learned about the basics of Python, including inputs, variables, combining strings (concatenation), and loops.
Day 2 - Circuits
Using Minetest, an open-source voxel game engine, we were introduced to and, or, not, and xor logic gates. Furthermore, we understood the basics of a computer, binary, and transistors.
Day 3 - Smart Home Development
On this day, we explored Home I/O, a smart home simulation game. In addition, we created automations using Scratch and even an alarm system in Python!
Day 4 - Mobile Application Development
On yet another interesting day of the camp, we built a Parking Location tracker application using Thunkable, a drag-and-drop mobile app development tool.
Day 5 - Computer Networking
Here, we learned about different numbering systems and conversions from one another. We also built our own computer network using Cisco Packet Tracer.
Day 6 - Machine Learning
On our last day, we discussed artificial intelligence, machine learning, its applications, and methods of teaching an alogrithm.
