3 Students Rated Our Summer Design Camps NYC 5 Stars

Throughout NextGen’s coding intensive I’ve thoroughly improved my problem-solving abilities and developed a strong foundation in computer science. The course was comprehensive and engaging and I definitely feel as though the skills I’ve gained have given me a leg in the classroom and job arena. I’d definitely recommend this course to anyone considering pursuing computer programming at a high level.

Andrew Langer

This class is a perfect introduction to Ruby on Rails and a quick way to get up to speed. You walk away with a great real-life application that you can use as the basis for your own development.

Robb Perry, CUNY TV

This class is taught by someone who is not only an expert at coding, but by someone who is a fantastic teacher. Those two things are often mutually exclusive skills, however Noble Desktop has managed to find an instructor with both skills at a very high level. If you are thinking of learning iOS development, look no further, as this class will be a great springboard for your success in the field.

Why Attend a Design Camp This Summer?

Summer is an important time for high school students to explore their interests and increase their marketable skills. Colleges and employers are always looking for students to show initiative in gaining valuable experience in their topics of interest. Unfortunately, students are asked to spend the majority of their time during the school year completing assignments and projects within their school’s core subject areas, leaving little time to learn and practice specialized topics and skills. That’s why the summer is such an incredible opportunity for kids! Students can spend their summer learning in a fun, stress-free environment at NextGen’s coding camps.

NextGen Summer Camp students in class

NextGen gives students the perfect place to explore their passion for technology in a safe, academic, and highly personalized environment. NextGen teaches many different coding languages, opening the door for students with a wide array of interests to sample a variety of tech roles before finding the perfect fit. Additionally, our curriculum is activity-based and hands-on so that students can learn concepts quickly and become familiar with complex concepts in a short period of time! Here are some more reasons to take our code camps this summer:

Improve Your Brain-Power

Studies show that learning a new language, including computer programming languages, has remarkable cognitive benefits, including increases in processing power, working memory, and attention span. Additionally, programmers’ brains are said to work twice as hard as other writers because writing in code activates both the region of the brain that handles language processing and the region of the brain that handles mathematical reasoning. Finally, according to the National Institute of Health, learning new coding principles helps to form new neural connections and strengthens existing connections related to logic, problem-solving, and reasoning.

Highly Effective Immersive Learning

Although students spend their school year sitting in classrooms for several hours a day, they’ve never learned in a classroom quite like this. Our immersive curriculum has students actively working on coding projects all day, starting on day one. Think of this pedagogical method as similar to moving to another country to learn a second language: the complete immersion enables students to learn on a deep, conceptual level more quickly than would ever be possible in a lecture-style classroom.

Stand Out as a College Applicant

With college acceptance becoming more competitive every year, high school students need to demonstrate their enthusiasm for learning and their commitment to pursuing academic excellence. By completing NextGen’s program, students show colleges that they are aware of the current demands of the job skills market and that they are serious about taking on rigorous learning opportunities to excel in high school, college, and beyond. Beyond looking great to college admissions boards, students in our courses learn skills that enable them to get ahead in high school math and computer science, test out of college courses, and spend more time preparing for whatever they wish to do in the real world.
