They're so focused on the task, in fact, that they don't notice when the camp's creator and very famous namesake walks in.

"Hey, guys," says supermodel,Project Runwayhost, and coding enthusiast Karlie Kloss, as she gives the students a friendly wave. The girls seem a bit too stunned to react. Eyes widen as they glance around at each other, quietly nodding with shared enthusiasm. But before they can do much of anything else, the 27-year-old Kloss is checking out their work, bringing her six-foot-two-inch frame to a squat so she can be eye level with her students and their screens.
