App Attack!
Take the first steps into the world of mobile app design and
customize your own game app! Using a specialized game
development tool, students explore the world of phonebased and tablet applications. In addition to learning the
basics of mobile app design and game development, also
see firsthand how the world of App’s publishing functions.
Student-created apps are accessible on a private site and
can be played on any mobile device or computer. No prior
experience is necessary and students do not need to own
a smartphone or tablet to take the class.
Code Breakers
Calling all future coders, programmers and designers!
Learn the basics of coding languages like HTML5 through
a series of web projects and design challenges each
day, and be on your way to becoming the next tech star!
Student projects are available on a Black Rocket website to
share with friends and family.
Make Your Own Video Game
Unlock the keys to game design by choosing your own
adventure! Unlike with any other Black Rocket game
design course, students in this program make special
top-down adventure games like Pokémon or Zelda to
compete with their friends. Design unlimited rooms and
levels as you continue your quest in becoming a game
design master. Student-created games are available on a
password-protected Black Rocket website to share with
friends and family.

College of DuPage offers a two-semester High School Credit summer program. These programs
are open to students entering or currently enrolled in high school. The summer program is an
extension of the regular academic program designed to provide students with opportunities to
gain academic credit or to explore interests by auditing a class. It is an excellent occasion for
incoming freshmen to become more familiar with high school expectations.
Prompt and consistent attendance is mandatory to ensure the same contact hours, teaching and
learning opportunities as during the school year. One day in the summer program equals one
week of a regular school year. Students should not register for classes for high school credit if
they have vacation plans, athletic camps/competitions or other obligations that prevent them from
attending class. Textbooks for these courses are available for purchase or rent through the Follett
College of DuPage Bookstore. A complete list of textbooks and ISBN numbers can be found at
www.cod.edu/youth.
The first semester runs from June 7 to June 28; the second semester runs from June 30 to
July 22. Classes are offered in two formats. All College of DuPage locations for high school
courses are scheduled for four hours per day, Monday to Friday. District 204 high school
courses are scheduled four days a week, from 7:30 a.m. to 12:50 p.m., Monday to Thursday.
Please contact your guidance counselor for credit eligibility.
PARENT/STUDENT ORIENTATION SESSIONS
Register at www.cod.edu/youth
All students registered for the 2016 High School summer program and a parent/guardian
are required to attend an orientation session prior to the start of the summer program.
