    Microsoft have been sending out an interesting email offering parents the chance to enroll their children in a 'Summer Camp' for children aged between 8-13 to learn how to code games and also game design.

    The 'Summer camp' consists of 2 hour sessions a day Monday-Thursday, 10AM-12PM. The 'Junior Designers' will use a visual programming language Kodu to learn about how creativity, problem solving, storytelling, and programming. Once your child is proficient with Kodu they will then go on to TouchDevelop, a mobile app creation platform with a touch-based editor that makes coding from your phone or tablet lots of fun.

    Your children will learn how to create mobile games and techniques for creating virtual worlds as well as creating games and movies.
