Raspberry Pi Youth Coding Camp

Raspberry Pi Youth Coding Camp

Event Location: Grand Valley State University

Join us for an exciting, hands-on coding experience at the Raspberry Pi Youth Coding Camp! Designed for ages 11–14, this 5-hour class introduces students to real-world computing through engaging, interactive stations using Raspberry Pi devices. Students will rotate through a variety of STEM activities in small groups, learning coding and hardware skills while building confidence and curiosity.

Core topics include:

• Turtle Coding: Learn programming concepts by drawing with Python
• Sense HAT Coding: Explore sensors, LED displays, and environmental data
• Breadboard Projects: Experiment with basic circuits and components
• Drone Coding: Program drones and test obstacle course challenges

Additional activities may include:

• GoPiGo robot navigation and object detection
• Minecraft server configuration and gameplay coding
• Python with Jupyter Notebooks
• Unity game development
• IoT and API integrations with smart devices
• Benchmarking Raspberry Pi performance
• Infrared signal programming

Space is limited to 20 students. Each camper receives a t-shirt and a Raspberry Pi computer to take home. Cost is $50 per student. Scholarships are available.

Each camper will work with a Raspberry Pi and receive guided instruction at each station. Sign up today to secure your spot in this fun and educational tech camp!
