West Suburban Summer School

Bring science to life with LEGO® WeDo robotics! Students will team up in pairs to build and program LEGO® models using WeDo kits and Scratch software. Through hands-on projects, they’ll learn programming basics, engineering concepts, and the functions of robot components. Each class combines building, coding, and problem-solving as students create working machines in a fun, collaborative setting. This camp is a great introduction to robotics and STEM for young learners.

Curious about how hackers think and love solving puzzles? In this hands-on camp, you will explore Python coding, ethical hacking, and cybersecurity through interactive games and code-cracking challenges. Build your coding skills by creating mini-projects and programming your own cyber defense game. Experiment with secret codes, test password strength, and train on specialty websites designed for safe practice. Compete in Capture-the-Flag contests that challenge your logic, teamwork, and creativity. Learn how hackers operate, and how to stop them, while developing real-world problem-solving skills and thinking like an ethical hacker who protects, not attacks.

Learn to create web pages! Students will learn how to create an HTML web page, learn various HTML tags, and experiment with design, javascript, and CSS.
