Instructor: Tech Academy Dive into more advanced computer science topics, including augmented reality, artificial intelligence, and machine learning. Computers are getting smarter every day due to advances in machine learning algorithms. Coders can teach computers to recognize faces, play games, and find patterns. In our class, we will create a chatbot, Rock Paper Scissors game, and more. Additional Technical Requirement: Scratch and scratch account- Instructions will be emailed. PC Needed (Windows or MacBook), will NOT work on Chromebook, tablets, or phones.

Instructor: Tech Academy Learn the fundamentals of coding with Scratch by creating a Nintendo-themed game. Inspire your student to pursue today’s most exciting technologies. Scratch uses colorful, visual blocks that fit together like Legos. Additional Technical Requirement: Scratch and scratch account- Instructions will be emailed PC Needed (Windows or MacBook), will NOT work on Chromebook, tablets, or phones.

Instructor: Tech Academy Unleash your creativity as you work collaboratively! Create a world with others in multiple unique, themed lands. Build different biomes or base a section on your favorite movie or video game! Students will get a copy of the world to continue development at home. Additional Technical Requirement: Minecraft Java Edition PC (Windows or MacBook), will NOT work on Chromebook, tablets, or phones

Instructor: Tech Academy Build a computer bot to play head-to-head against other coders! Whether this is your first Code Championship event, or if you've been competing for years, this is the perfect way to explore the competitive coding world of Code Championship. No previous coding experience necessary. The Code Championship Series is a series of four tournaments in four weeks (it's ok to miss one or two). These tournaments will be hosted online using Google Meet and the Code Championship website. If you have a modern browser like Chrome or Firefox, no additional download is required. Players must be able to navigate the internet: basic typing and mouse control. The Google Meet link will be emailed two days before the tournament.
