Gallery > iCODE Summer 2008

Students from all over Boston attended the iCODE summer camp on the campus of UMass Boston from July 7 to 18, 2008. Participating students had the chance to build a variety of electronic devices, including a GPS receiver, an MP3 player, and a wireless game controller, much like the popular Nintendo Wii. Students created their own games for use with the game controller, using Scratch, a graphical programming interface. In addition to their project work, students made a field trip to the Blue Hills Reservation for an afternoon of geocaching, and went on a boat cruise of Boston Harbor. Over the two-week period, students heard presentations from three software and engineering professionals, and had an informal question-and-answer session with representatives from UMass Boston's admissions office.
