Massachusetts Institute of Technology Camp
Description of Massachusetts Institute of Technology Camp
- Age of students: 7-18
- Co-ed programs
- Weeklong camps and 2-week academies
- Programs run June 14 to August 07
Summer Camp focused on computer science in Cambridge, MA is a unique opportunity for international students to study various programming directions and to obtain valuable knowledge and active rest during the summer holidays. The summer camp for young programmers is a special platform where children learn about innovative, state-of-the-art achievements in technology, exact sciences and programming, prepare to enter the best profile universities of the United States and the world, make their first steps towards a successful career and sought-after specialty.
Summer camp is available for children from 7 to 18 years. All specialists who work with children are highly qualified instructors. The majority of camp children are Americans, foreign students make up only 6%. Despite the young age, the participants of the summer camp achieve impressive successes and results:
- A special service for LEGO lovers
- A School of Coding for Children
- One of the children became a guest speaker at the professional prestigious Game Developers Conference (GDC) and soon begins to work in the sphere of game development.
Even short-term summer courses at the one of the most famous university in the world is a great advantage!. Students can choose among more than 60 different subjects, specialties and directions. Full linguistic and cultural immersion, as well as life on a traditional campus, will prepare children for further study abroad.
Note: there are no English lessons in the camp - the student must already have a sufficiently high level (from B2, or Upper-Intermediate), to study a course in the relevant technological disciplines.
You can choose the most relevant and priority for you topics and intensity of classes: there are developed courses for beginners and programmers, and for already experienced students, and for high school students who plan to enter profile universities.

Autonomous and Self-Driving Robotics Lab
- Age of students: 15-18 (Must turn 15 by 12/31/2020)
- Skill level: Beginner-Advanced
- Direction: Coding, Robotics
Arduino is a microcontroller popular in robotics: students will learn how to create circuits and program a device to perform certain actions. MicroPython is a tool that gives the robot vision: it is a small camera embedded in the device - it will allow the device to make decisions depending on the situation (go around obstacles, stop, and so on). Students work in groups and in 2 weeks create their own robotics project.
Students will learn:
- Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering
- Create autonomous robotics and computer vision
- Encode devices
- Build robots
- Teamwork and critical thinking.
Machine Learning: Coding Deep Neural Networks
- Age of students: 15-18 years
- Skill level: Beginner-Advanced
- Course duration: 2 weeks
- Direction: Robotics, coding
- Tools: NVIDIA Jetson Nano, PyCharm, TensorFlow.
Modern computers are powerful devices that can perform millions of tasks. Students of this course will teach their devices not only to perform tasks, but also to learn: by creating an environment for learning in a certain field, students will endow the computer with new features, for which they will later be rewarded with unique services that help in modern life. Examples of computer studying are Siri, Snapchat filters.
Students will learn:
- Create neural networks with the TensorFlow tool
- Implement Computer Learning Using the Python Tool
- Optimize Learning Speed
- Develop coding and computational thinking skills
- Teach computer models different skills.
Hackathon: Team-Based App Creation with Unity
- Age of students: 15-18 years
- Skill level: Beginner-Advanced
- Course duration: 2 weeks
- Direction: game development, coding
- Tools: Unity, C #, Adobe Photoshop.
Students will learn how, using modern tools, to create applications for smartphones and tablets. In the first week of the course, theoretical knowledge will be gained regarding Unity, C #, and the Adobe Photoshop graphic tool. In the second week, students will begin to create their own project: it will be a mobile application or even a colourful game - it will be possible to realize almost any idea.
Students will learn to:
- Create mobile apps
- Work with C # Tools
- Design workflows
- Work in a team.
Cybersecurity Lab: Encryption and Steganography
- Age of students: 15-18 years
- Skill level: Beginner-Advanced
- Course duration: 2 weeks
- Direction: Encoding
- Tools: Python, PyCharm, HARP prototype.
Students will receive modern knowledge about computer codes, information flows, cryptographic elements: the work is based on texts, audio and video information. In the course, students will learn how a character set is converted to a video clip or other product, and will learn how to create ciphers on their own. During the course, knowledge that is rare and expensive for the modern labour market will be acquired.
Students will learn to:
- Use Python to encrypt and decrypt messages
- Apply multiple encryption methods
- Hack hardware devices and solve cryptographic puzzles
- Develop security skills and analytics.
C ++ Game Programming: Algorithms and AI
- Age of students: 15-18 years
- Skill level: Beginner-Advanced
- Course duration: 2 weeks
- Direction: Encoding
- Tools: C ++, Microsoft Visual Studio.
The C ++ programming language opens up a ton of possibilities: students will gain effective knowledge that allows them to create applications and 2D games. During the second week, students will be taught to introduce artificial intelligence into their project, which will help to create maps and look for ways. Students will master the algorithms that are the basis of many modern games, will have the opportunity to attend 12 exclusive online master classes.
Students will learn:
- Read user input and print formatted output
- Implement a game loop
- Use algorithms to help to solve many game problems.
Game Engine Development With C ++
- Age of students: 15-18 years
- Skill level: Beginner-Advanced
- Course duration: 2 weeks
- Direction: Encoding
