CodeInspire

We are excited to announce our 2025 Summer Camp lineup! We have some really fun and education camps to fit your kid's schedule! Whether you choose to do online for convenience and flexibility or enroll in an in-person location, our camps are:
Taught by rock star instructors
Fueled by specialty developed curriculum
Enjoyed by tens of thousands of students across the US

every camp you register for at CodeAdvantage will enable Code Inspire to provide summer camps to underserved communities where access to coding education is desperately needed!

It has been a very busy four weeks at the Boys and Girls Clubs of Newark, New Jersey. So far, we have spent everyday having STEM-filled fun! First, they learned how to program in Scratch and make their own animated stories. Secondly, they learned to make their own 3D games in Kodu. They have also become tiny engineers and are making awesome moving creations with legos! For our last two weeks, we are learning how to “hack” in Minecraft Education Edition by using the Code Editor feature. Overall, our students are loving STEM and sad to see the end of the camp in August.

Due to our generous donors, CodeInspire can continue to support our students, in-person and online classes, instructors, and camps just like this one! If you or your company is interested in donating for a difference, please check out our website!

❓What do you enjoy most about being an instructor?
My favorite thing about being an instructor is watching students learn and apply concepts they’ve learned in class to their projects. It’s so rewarding to see the moment the information clicks for a student, and they go on to apply it to their code in creative ways. That’s something that never gets old.

❓Can you share a time when a student had a breakthrough in class?
In one of my Action Scratch classes, a student had trouble making a basketball appear to go into a hoop. She asked me for help, and I used relatable real-world scenarios to explain the concept we covered in class. When she finally understood it and watched the basketball travel into the hoop, she jumped up from her seat, shouted joyfully, and quickly showed her friends. When I returned to her later in the class, the student had done a whole new project using the same concepts to make her own animation.
