HHWG successfully hosted the Winter Advanced Java Camp, a five‑session program held from December 26 to December 30. The camp was led by instructors Zhebin Zhang, Eric Huang, Anthony Cao, and Kerui Xu. Sessions ran daily from 1:30–3:30 PM. In addition to teaching, Zhebin Zhang dedicated extra time after each session to answer students’ questions and review homework.

The AYLUS Winter Advanced Java Camp provided a comprehensive and hands-on experience for students to deepen their understanding of Java programming. Through structured lessons and a final project, participants gained practical skills and confidence in applying Java to real-world problems.

Day 1: Java Review

• Overview of Java syntax and structure

• Recap of variables, data types, operators, and control flow

• Hands-on exercises to reinforce foundational concepts

Day 2: Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)

• Explanation of OOP principles: encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism, abstraction

• Introduction to classes and objects in Java

• Simple class creation and object instantiation exercises

Day 3: OOP Continued

• Deep dive into constructors, method overloading, and overriding

• Use of access modifiers and static keywords

• Building small projects using multiple classes

Day 4: Basic Data Structures

• Introduction to arrays, ArrayLists, and LinkedLists

• Understanding stacks and queues

• Practical coding tasks involving data manipulation and traversal

Zhebin zhang: 3 hours. Anthony Cao: 2 hours. Kerui Xu: 2 Hours.

Day 5: Final Project

• Students work on a mini Java application integrating OOP and data structures

• Project examples: simple game, inventory system, or student management tool

• Presentation and peer review of projects
