Photography Class Information:
Go beyond the selfie! Do you like taking pictures? Do you enjoy seeing things from a different point of view? Do you like to express your creativity through technology? Then this is the class for you! We will study the history of photography and learn about light, line and form. We will also explore editing options and different photography apps. Subjects will include, but are not limited to, food, animals, nature, action and portrait work. Students will work on iPads. Culminating projects will be produced in Clips.
Age Group- Students entering 3rd-5th grades
Coding Class Information:
Do you like using websites, apps, robots and online games? Are you curious about how these are created? Come join us for an intensive summer coding camp! Each day we will focus on a different area of coding: foundations of coding, designing apps, designing video games, creating interactive “you choose” adventures, exploring robotics and more! Students will explore the basics of JavaScript and Scratch and grow as they participate in the creative design process through both guided and self-paced lessons. On the last day, each student will choose their favorite area of coding and explore it more fully.
Age Group - Students entering 4th-8th grades. All coding levels are welcome – from beginner to expert!
The Photography and Coding classes are open to any student who lives within District 58’s boundaries. Transportation will not be provided.
