Steel City Codes provides completely cost-free computer science education through a peer-mentorship model, empowering young students with valuable coding skills and fostering inclusivity in STEM.
Denver Steel City Codes Summer Camp offers a free, in-person coding experience for students entering grades 5-9. The camp focuses on teaching fundamental computer science skills through engaging, hands-on activities. Students can choose to learn either Java or Python at introductory, intermediate, or advanced levels, with specially tailored curricula to match their experience. The program emphasizes peer-mentorship, with high school volunteers guiding younger students. By the end of the week, campers will have developed a personalized final project, fostering confidence in their coding abilities and potentially sparking a lasting interest in computer science. The camp aims to make quality STEM education accessible to all students, regardless of their socioeconomic background, and promotes inclusivity in the field.
A typical day includes a perfect amount of breaks, daily hands-on coding activities, and opportunities for students to interact with each other and make new friends through games and partner programming.
This camp is best for students in grades 5-9 who are interested in learning computer science, whether they are coding for the first time or want to build on existing skills.
