The journey begins (...or continues)!

Will you be able to break the cypher this week?!
Welcome to the last first day of YWiC's high school summer camp! We are so excited to have you here! We can't wait to explore the exciting world of Computer Science with you - there's so much to learn, do, and experiment with!

This week we will be programming LilyPad Arduino boards in a C-based language and will create a game in Greenfoot. We'll also encrypt/decrypt messages using Python, and the final project will be to decode some messages and follow clues to find some hidden treasure :)

YWiC uses student surveys for research purposes. The 2014 HS Summer Camp Week 2 Pre-Survey can be found here!

Blog Prompt: You have a source at the CDC and she has just informed you that the government has confirmed that the Zombie Apocalypse has begun. You have 24 hours to prepare before people in your town start turning. How will you use your time to prepare for the apocalypse?

At the end of each day of camp, we encourage our students to fill out a small survey so that we can better craft an amazing camp experience. The survey for today can be found here!
