PROGRAMS

Creative Coding Before and After School

​

The "Creative Coding" series provides a comprehensive framework in which students will learn the fundamental skills that are critical to coding in every programming language.  The intent is to provide a fun experience with the various platforms (i.e., robotics, game design, mobile app development) such that the students will gain sufficient interest to continue their coding exploration and becoming a producer rather than using their "screen time" only as a consumer.

 

Exploring Coding and Robotics:  Students in grades 2-3 are introduced to basic coding concepts and robotics.

Robots and Drones:  Students in grades 4-6 learn how to program various robots and drones.

Micro:bit:  Grade 4-6 students use their coding skills to interact with the real world by controlling LEDs, motors and sensors.
