Bright young minds are participating in Google's CAPE summer camp, learning the ins and outs of computing.

"What they'll be doing is hands-on modules," says Tara Canobbio from Google. "They'll be doing everything from the basic learning about binary numbers, computational thinking and then taking them through the languages of computer science."

CAPE, Computer And Programming Experience, is a five week program that takes place in five locations around the country.

"What they'll be doing physically is working on animations at the beginning," says Canobbio. "Then we'll be doing apps for mobile phones through our Android app inventor, then they'll actually be progressing through robotics and learning how to make the robots move through coding."

The campers, all going into ninth grade, are some of the brightest kids around. They had to be nominated by their schools before even applying to the program.

Even those with zero programming experience appreciate that learning here is like having Kobe Bryant teach you how to shoot a lay-up.

"I didn't come in knowing anything about computer science and coming to Google to learn about it was really exciting," says camper Ryan Tam.

The ability to learn without having to worry about grades also provided a sense of relief for these gifted kids.

"In this kind of environment, away from grades and the rest of the pressures of the school year, I was able to try doing it without the real fear and consequences of failing," says camper Philip Clark.

"I want to be an inventor when I grow up so this is a major step," says camper Chris Pardee.

Google says it's going to take what it learned from this summer camp and make up a blueprint. Then they will make that blueprint available online for free, so that any school or organization anywhere can run a similar program.

"We found something special, we found the kids are excited and want to learn so we want to share best practices the best way we can," says Canobbio.

The blueprint should be available later this year.
