We had to skip the last couple of years, due to the Covid 19 pandemic, but we are back: Rippowam Labs will once again be hosting a Teen Tech camp!
This year’s classes will be held from 8 am to 5 pm during the last week of June (6/27 – 7/1) and the theme of this year’s camp is: Python Coding Bootcamp.
Students will get a fun and friendly – but extensive – introduction to the Python language. At the end of the week, they will have all the skills necessary to tackle any UNIX-based DIY project (robotics, Web, crypto).
The week will go as follows:
- Monday: Basic syntax, data types, variables and exception handling
- Tuesday: Event-driven programming and libraries/frameworks
- Tuesday: Consume and create APIs
- Wednesday: Functions, constructors and Object Oriented Programming techniques
- Thursday: Database Integration and Web scraping
- Friday: AI and Machine Learning
This is the perfect camp for Teens who have little or no experience in Python – but want to learn this language in a short period of time.
Python is one of the hottest languages in the tech world right now and your son/daughter will have all the tools necessary to continue learning on their own, once the camp is complete.
Let me be clear – this will be a “geeky” pursuit. But it will be more than just coding. As an added bonus, Stamford YMCA legend Francky Trofort will visit the camp and lead students through fun exercise activities for about an hour everyday. Francky has a long list of clients he trains in Stamford and Greenwich (including a couple of famous actors) and we are lucky to to secure his services!
The instructor for the class is certified by the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) and has had many years experience in leading Teen learning activities. At least one of his students went on to attend Yale University!
More details are forthcoming but mark your calendars and feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
