Code Coach Pack

Everything you need to run a project-based coding camp across five days.

The format

5 days x 3 hours/day = 15 hours total.
Day 5's last hour is the parent demo. That leaves 14 hours of working time.
Audience: mixed-ability room, ages 7-13.
Default path: complete the core project first, then use stretch challenges for fast finishers.

Day 1 — Setup, first build, first playtest
Day 2 — Pick up pace and add more systems
Day 3 — Build depth, test, and personalize
Day 4 — Finish the core project and choose stretch work
Day 5 — Polish, rehearse, and demo
Parent demo prep — room setup, student script, and day-of checklist
Buffer activities — reusable activities for extra time or energy dips
Course-specific plans — use the pacing supplement for the course you are running: Python Arcade, Scratch AI Lab, Python AI Assistant, Python 101, Python Machine Learning, Roblox Obby, Roblox Makers, Roblox Combat, Roblox Tycoon, Roblox VR Lab, Roblox YouTuber Studio, Bot Builders, Scratch App Studio, Scratch Game Studio, Geometry Dash, and Unity Castle Defense.

Each Day N page has:

At a glance — a minute-by-minute table you can keep visible.
Per-block notes — what to say, what to watch for, and when to move on.
End-of-day reflection — a short prompt that helps students remember what they built.

The schedule is 2-3-3-2 + demo:

Day	Focus	Why
1	Setup + first two build blocks	Soft start while students learn the tools
2	Three build blocks	Their hands are warm, so push pace
3	Three build blocks + personalization	Add depth and make projects feel owned
4	Final build blocks + stretch picks	Finish the core project and give choice
5	Polish + parent demo	Reserve the day for quality and celebration

Email parents the format and demo time.
Make sure every machine can open the course tools and the Creator Hub site.
Print this pack or keep it open on a second screen.
Walk through the first build block yourself before students arrive.
Decide whether the room will use a shared theme, individual themes, or free choice.
