We offer beginner and intermediate coding and computer skills classes for all grade levels.
Why Coding?
Coding powers our digital world. Every website, computer program, smartphone app, and even electrical appliances use code to work.
Over the next 5 years, many jobs are projected to disappear to advances in technology, but there will be 2.1 million new opportunities in computer sciences.
Even jobs such as banking, medicine and journalism will also be affected by the need for at least an understanding of programming and coding.
For students today, coding is becoming an essential skill, just like reading, writing, and mathematics.
Our Program
Class sizes are small to maximize one-on-one time between teachers and students, allowing for high-quality, tailored tutoring.
Students will need to bring their own computers.
Computer skills classes are focused on building a strong foundation of computer literacy. Students will learn to use computers and related technology efficiently: search engines, word processing, browser basics, keyboard commands, basic hardware terminology, simple networking diagnosis, security and privacy, and office and design software such as Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. This course is great for students wishing to improve their computer skills for schoolwork.
Coding classes are focused on developing an appreciation and competency in coding and programming. Students will learn how to write their own code to manipulate software programs, edit websites, and create online games and applications. Basic programming languages such as HTML, CSS, Java, C, and C++ will be taught.
Class activities include:
The program guarantees that students will:
