In August 2015, Florida Gulf Coast University announced that over 40 elementary and middle school students graduated from its first Coding Academy.
The university launched this pilot program to ignite interest in programming among young people, inspiring them to develop the must-have apps of tomorrow or engineer advanced medical robotic devices that enhance lives.
Since its inception, the FGCU Mathematics Department has organized this annual event every year during the summer.
From June 30 to July 3, 2025, the FGCU Math Department hosted its yearly coding camp for rising seventh, eighth, and ninth graders.
The camp focused on the Python programming language, game development, and artificial intelligence (AI), and included guest sessions with industry professionals. Activities were tailored to the participants’ skill levels.
Past projects involved building computers from kits, using knowledge of technology to set up circuit boards and cables, learning command language, modifying aspects of existing programs, recognizing patterns in code, and writing algorithms.
The camp teaches young people how to create and design programs, program animations or robots, and gain a clear understanding of how software and algorithms function.
