Greenfoot Camp CY222 / A16
Summary
Greenfoot is widely used in education as an introduction to Object Oriented Programming (OOP) using the Java language. Developed in the UK, it has become a core requirement of some GCSE specifications, while remaining an attractive option for others. Greenfoot is also useful for introducing OOP at A level. This course is designed for those new to Greenfoot or Java who are familiar with basic procedural or OOP concepts in other programming languages.
This is a residential course, fees include meals and accommodation for the duration of the course.
Course fees vary for participants outside of the UK. Please contact enquiries@stem.org.uk
