CODE YOUR WAY TO THE FUTURE

Future Stars Python Coding Camp introduces campers to one of the world’s most versatile programming languages through interactive projects and creative challenges. Designed for beginners and aspiring coders, this camp builds strong foundations in coding, logic, and problem-solving.

Campers learn the basics of printing, variables, and user input, then apply their skills to fun projects like creating a Magic Name Badge, designing Mad Libs stories, and coding a Guess the Word game. As they progress, they can create colorful animations with Python Turtle or develop their own app, game, or story generator.

The week concludes with a project showcase where campers share their creations and demonstrate their new programming skills. Students leave with greater confidence in coding and projects they can continue building long after camp ends.

Carol Wilson

STEAM Education Director

Carol’s mission as an educator is to inspire her students each and every day to innovate and develop solutions to the challenges we face on a daily basis. To that end, Carol can’t wait to work with and have fun with our future scientists, engineers, coders and detectives this summer!

Carol is a distinguished educator of nearly thirty years. She has performed a variety of roles in the East Islip School District as a teacher of 2nd, 3rd, 5th, and 6th grade. Most recently, Carol helped the East Islip School District to pioneer their STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Mathematics) program, where she teaches students in grades 3-5 to create, design, and communicate in teams to solve everyday problems.

Carol holds an M.A. in Reading and Special Education from Dowling College, as well as a B.A. in Elementary Education and Spanish from Clemson University. She also holds an SBL degree in administration and is currently a supervisor of student teachers at St. Joseph’s University in Patchogue.

Carol was the head varsity volleyball coach at East Islip between 1994-2001, leading the Redmen to multiple Section XI playoff appearances, with teams consisting of athletes who would go on to compete at the college level in NCAA Division I and III. She was also selected in 2012 as the faculty recipient of the National Blue Ribbon Award for Timber Point Elementary School.

In her time away from school, Carol enjoys hiking, gardening, and spending time with her two sons.
