The Code Behind the Server
Every request, every response, every video stream starts as real Python code students write in the same tool professional engineers use every day.
How Streaming Really Works
Build Your Own
Streaming Server
Students build a personal streaming server inspired by how platforms like Netflix and YouTube deliver content.

Real Outcomes
What Your Child
Will Build
Students will design and build a working streaming system, including:
Video Delivery
A video delivery system
Content Server
A server that hosts and manages content
Media Interface
A basic interface to access media
User Connections
A system that connects users to content
By the end of camp, students understand how platforms like Netflix and YouTube deliver videos because they have spent two weeks building their own streaming server from scratch.

An Invitation to Share
Korra Jr.: Share Programming Journeys With a STEM Family
Korra Jr. invites you to share Programming Journeys' Summer 2026 Tech Camps with families you know whose children, ages 8 to 14, are interested in programming, networking, robotics, or artificial intelligence.
Have Questions?
Korra Jr.: Still Have Questions About Our Camps? Let's Clear Them Up Today
Korra Jr. invites parents who still have questions about schedules, pricing, or curriculum to reach out for quick, hassle-free answers. Text or email Programming Journeys for clarity before camp begins.
Camp Preview
Your child streams every day. What if they built their own streaming server?
Your child streams videos every day, but do they know how Netflix or YouTube actually work? In this preview, students build their own streaming server from scratch, running on a computer the size of a credit card. They build the library, the player, and the server, then watch on any device, with a live dashboard tracking every stream. In two weeks, real software engineering, built by your child.
Streaming In Action
Simon Builds a Real Streaming Server on a Raspberry Pi
Watch Simon walk through a working video streaming server he built on a Raspberry Pi, a single-board computer the size of a credit card. He demos the menu, plays a movie, and runs the full controls: pause, fast forward, rewind, full screen.

Streaming Journeys+
This is Journeys+. This is a real video streaming platform where apps, servers, and devices work together to stream media across a live network.

These are the twelve roles involved in building real software, and the twelve roles students will learn to take on.
Curriculum
What Students
Learn
Students are introduced to the core ideas behind modern internet systems:
Python Programming
Python programming to build and run a streaming server
Servers & Storage
How servers store and deliver data
Network Access
How users access content over a network
Requests & Responses
How systems manage requests and responses
Real Engineering
Built with Real Technology
Not Simulations
Students do not use simplified demos or pre-built apps. They work with real concepts and tools used in modern systems, including:
Hardware
The Hardware
A real Raspberry Pi runs the whole streaming server. Students wire it, configure it, and watch it deliver video across a real network.
Runtime
The Server in Action
A live dashboard shows the server serving real traffic. Students watch requests arrive, get handled, and leave with the video the user asked for.
Playback
The Streaming Experience
Students open the interface they built and watch video stream from their own server to their own screen. Their system. Their code. Their stream.
This is how real internet systems work — adapted for students.
The Big Picture
Why This
Matters
Most students stream content from platforms like Netflix and YouTube every day. They tap play, and a video appears. What very few learn is how the system on the other end of that tap actually delivers it.
In this camp, students build it. They run a real streaming server on a Raspberry Pi using Python, load it with their own video library, and serve it across the network. By the end of camp, they can watch from any device in the house, all flowing from hardware they configured themselves.
Students will leave camp as builders of real streaming servers,
not just subscribers to them.
