CS A-Z will be held at Marshall University between June 19th - 21st, 2023 for age 12 and older age group students. With this camp, students will discover the fun nature of Computer Science while making new friends! We provide various computer science-related activities, including building and programming robots, robotics simulation, machine learning, computer security, developing a mobile app without coding, flying drones, creating music using Sonic Pi, writing a program, meeting scientists, and more. However, the primary focus of this camp will be "Mobile App Development and AI - ChatGPT Integration." The camp will be in-person on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM.
The purpose of the CS A-Z camp is to promote interest in computer science and cybersecurity and help students understand how computers work and benefit our everyday lives. Students will also learn how to solve problems with computing and programming. The CS A-Z camp will provide many fun-filled, hands-on activities that students will enjoy while learning the science behind computing.
Parents are responsible for registration and the drop off and pick up of students on the days of the camp. No transportation will be provided by the CS A-Z camp. Although daily snacks are provided during the camp, students should also bring their own lunch. It is important to note that no lunch order is allowed in the building. To join the CS A-Z camp, parents should sign the terms and conditions agreement of Marshall University and the Department of Computer Sciences and Electrical Engineering on or before the first day of the camp. The agreement can be submitted online by visiting this link. Parents are also welcome to attend the introduction session of the program!
Requirements are the students should be at least 12 years old and have a Gmail account with permission to connect to third-party apps. We will use Gmail account to access required platforms to develop programs.

Have a look at what we have.
By its nature, the study of robotics inherently incorporates all four pillars of STEM. One of the best ways to instill a lifelong interest in STEM education, which include the subjects of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math, is to provide fun, engaging, and hands-on opportunities for students to explore and experience for themselves. Students will work in groups of two, three or four according to the activity type. https://www.vexrobotics.com
The Oculus Rift is a virtual reality headset developed and manufactured by Oculus VR, a division of Facebook Inc. https://www.oculus.com/rift/ . Additionally, Microsoft HoloLens is the first self-contained, holographic computer that lets users engage with digital content and interact with holograms in the world around them. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/hololens.
Leap Motion, Inc. is an U.S. based company that manufactures and markets a computer hardware sensor device that supports hand and finger motions as controllers (similar to a mouse), but requires no hand contact or touching! https://www.leapmotion.com/.
Sonic Pi is an open-source programming environment that was developed and designed to explore and teach programming concepts through the process of creating new sounds. This environment emphasizes the importance of creativity in the learning process, and gives users control to turn their sonic ideas into reality.
