My 9 year old son just finished a week-long camp at Mathobotix in Irvine and is scheduled for another week next week. Last week was the third time we did a program with Mathobotix and he has loved it every time. The mentors are great. He has learned a ton about programming games with Scratch and hopes to move on to Python next week. He started all of this with no knowledge of coding and has gotten so into it it is his first choice of camps and he wants to now be a coder "when he grows up." I think the program is great.. I especially love the program at the Mathobotix office in Irvine because the facility is quite nice (that being said, taking the camp through Saddleback College for Kids during summer was good too, just the portables aren't as comfortable as the real facility). I love how they end the week having each child give a presentation to all of the parents about the game they have created... Great for creating public speaking skills.
