Montgomery Can Code, a free 1-week summer coding camp for MCPS middle school students, takes place this summer at all three Montgomery College locations (Germantown, Rockville, and Takoma Park).
Montgomery Can Code is a partnership between MCPS, Montgomery College, and Apple that offers MCPS rising 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students a free summer coding “boot camp.” Students will learn SWIFT coding language and work on App Development. Transportation will not be provided. There will also be a virtual half-day session available for students who prefer to attend virtually.
“Swift is an easy-to-understand programming language used by professional developers to create world class apps. MCPS middle school students can enjoy a free, fun week of summer camp to learn Swift from coding experts. Campers will learn to code with Swift Playgrounds — a free app for iPad that makes getting started with Swift code interactive and fun.
The camp is hosted in July with the option to select one week to participate. Each week offers the same programming activities, for students to learn Swift code on an iPad, select a coding challenge from local non-profit and design a prototype app. Campers also participate in a career day and a showcase experience to pitch their apps. Families have the choice to participate in a full day, in-person camp Weeks 1 and 2 at Montgomery College a virtual camp Week 3. The Camp is free to any Montgomery County Public School middle school students.
It’s code that’s interactive, intuitive and easy to read and write. The summer experience will include Career Pathway Days where kids have opportunities to interact with leading local IT companies to talk about future careers. The program will conclude with a fun certificate of completion and other surprises to ensure a memorable, valuable summer experience.”
