CODING

Classes are on Saturdays 12:30 - 1:30 p.m.

Coding with Calvin
Audience: 3rd grade - 8th grade

Computer Science Fundamentals Express, also affectionately known as Coding with Calvin,  is a 30 hour course designed for 9-18 year old students. Students learn to create computer programs that will help them learn to collaborate with others, develop problem-solving skills, and persist through difficult tasks. They will study programming concepts, computational thinking, digital citizenship, and develop interactive games or stories they can share.

The course teaches the foundational concepts of programming using drag and drop blocks rather than a programming language such as JavaScript or Python. Blocks are an easier way to get started and many top Universities today begin their classes with block based programming.
