SCRATCH GAME DEV & MAKER

Fairy Dust, Slime, and Magic Potions

Step into a world of sparkle, curiosity, and creativity! In Fairy Dust, Slime, and Magic Potions, your child becomes a magical storyteller and young scientist—mixing imagination with coding and hands-on STEM exploration.

In the mornings, campers use ScratchJr to create interactive fairy-tale stories, magical animations, and playful games. In the afternoons, they transform into potion makers, exploring chemistry-inspired STEM projects like slime, colour-changing mixtures, and sensory creations.

Designed especially for ages 4 - 5 and 6 - 7, this beginner-friendly camp blends creative coding with hands-on making, helping children build confidence, curiosity, and problem-solving skills through play.

Solution Topic

Through storytelling, experimentation, and guided discovery, your child explores both digital creativity and real-world STEM.

Your child will:

  • Learn step-by-step thinking using block-based coding
  • Understand cause-and-effect through animation and interaction
  • Explore early game logic and sequencing
  • Practice observation and experimentation through hands-on making
  • Build confidence by combining creativity with STEM thinking
  • No prior coding or science experience is needed.

Design, Experiment, Build

Your child will:

  • Engineering Design Process
  • Ideate, brainstorm, and design Unicorn Adventure Land
  • Learn the Fundamentals of Coding
  • Create amazing animations, stories and simple games with CODE
  • Engineering fundamentals
  • Friendly intro to AI
  • 3D printing workshop

Camp Learning Journey

Day 1: Welcome to the Magic Realm - Coding Fundamentals

Morning:

Campers are introduced to the magical theme and explore how stories and games are created. Using ScratchJr, your child learns how coding blocks work by animating magical characters and scenes.

Afternoon:

Campers explore what “magic” means in science by observing colours, textures, and reactions. They begin planning their first magic potion–inspired STEM project.

Day 2: Magical Movements - Animation & Mixing Basics

Morning:

Your child programs characters to fly, sparkle, and move through enchanted worlds. Campers learn how changing the order of blocks changes what happens on screen.

Afternoon:

Maker time introduces simple mixing and material science concepts. Campers experiment with textures and colours as they create their first batch of slime or a sensory mixture.

Day 3: Game Logic & Potion Creation

Morning:

Campers add interactions and simple logic to their ScratchJr projects, such as tapping a character to trigger a magical event. They practice fixing mistakes and improving their designs.

Afternoon:

Campers create more advanced potion or slime variations, experimenting with consistency, color, and sparkle while practicing careful observation and following steps.

Day 4: Project Customization & Testing

Morning:

Your child personalizes their magical story or game with new scenes, characters, and animations. Campers test their projects and learn how small changes improve results.

Afternoon:

Maker time focuses on refining potion recipes, creatively packaging them, and understanding how different ingredients affect outcomes.

Day 5: Magical Showcase & Celebration

Morning:

Campers make final improvements to their ScratchJr projects and prepare to share their creations.

Afternoon:

The week ends with a joyful Magical Showcase, where campers share their stories, display their potions or slime creations, and celebrate their magical journey together.
