About This Activity
During this camp, the students become KSAs (Kopernik Secret Agents) and will discover the world of codes, old and new. KSAs will each receive a TOP SECRET folder filled with a variety of codes and activities. They will have fun using them to decipher messages and solve mysteries. KSAs will learn about Samuel Morse and his invention of the Morse code. They will learn about and practice with Braille and American Sign Language, codes for the blind and deaf. As KSAs discover ways in which we all use code in our daily lives through a variety of activities and guest speakers, they will also learn how computers use binary code to communicate with scientists. They will learn about Grace Hopper and her invention of COBOL computer language. Students will acquire coding vocabulary and apply it as they create their own programming board games and also write computer programs that will activate robotic LEGO projects. Camps have a maximum enrollment and many fill quickly each year. Register early to avoid disappointment. Register before June 1 to avoid late registration fee. Early drop off (8 am) and late pick up (4 pm) are available for a $15/day. Email registration@kopernik.org for information
