Basic Coding
Summer School

2024 Course

The Basic Coding is a Summer School addressed to students from the first to the penultimate year of high school that allows them to get in touch with basic notions of coding.
With the Basic Coding Summer School students have the chance to approach the following areas:

• Data, types di data, logic constructs typical of a programming language, Javascript-specific syntax and Kaboom.js library.
• Videogame development with the technologies learned during the course.
• Practical teamworking experiences aimed at the software’s development.

Moreover, at the end of the week it will be possible to take the conclusive test that starts the earlier admission path in Luiss, identical to the one of the Orientation 3 students.

Week scheme
The lessons’ timetable goes from 9.00 am to 6.00 pm.

• Morning and afternoon: theoretical lessons, in-depth workshops and development of team projects.
• Evening - students that choose the residential option (with accommodation) continue the day with leisure activities, staying at Luiss residences or affiliated structures.

Conclusive test and start of the Luiss admission path
At the end of the week, students at the high school year before the penultimate have the chance to take a conclusive test allowing them to start the admission path in Luiss. The psycho-attitudinal test also concerns academic knowledge and it allows students to bonus points that will be counted on the earlier admission test that is to be taken within the Orientation 4 the following year. 

Also, the Basic Coding Summer School grants the recognition of 40 hours for the PCTO (ex Alternanza Scuola-Lavoro) upon subscription of a dedicated convention with the student’s own school.
