Our Classes

Micro:Bit
Ages 8-12

Students can see the power of coding with Micro: Bit circuit board. The BBC Micro:bit is a pocket-sized computer that we can code, customize and control to bring our digital ideas, games and apps to life. The circuit board has many features including LED display, buttons and motion sensors. Depending on the age group, either Scratch or JavaScript language is used to write the code.

This class is often offered in-person.

Mobile App design for Android devices & IPhones
Ages 9-13

In this class, students learn how to design and code an Android or iPhone app. No previous coding experience is necessary. The class is meant to kindle young coders’ creativity to come up with their own ideas for the apps along with learning programming fundamentals. Students use a block-based programming tool to write code. Basic to advanced level coding concepts are covered. Students are encouraged to use their own iPhone and Android device for hands-on testing. They can also test their apps on a simulator.

Beginner Level Python Programming

Python is a popular, versatile, and professional-level programming language. It is very concise and easy-to-read, so many beginner level students choose this language as their first language. In this class, students will learn coding fundamentals such as user input, output, data types, conditionals, and loops using python syntax. They will work on plenty of projects applying and practicing the above concepts. Then the class will move forward with functional and modular programming where they will create user-defined functions and libraries. Students will also make animations and games using turtle, tkinter library.

Intermediate Level Python Programming

Students will be introduced to object-oriented programming concepts such encapsulation, polymorphism using python language. At the intermediate level, they will learn exception handling, file handling and other topics such as list and dictionary comprehension.  Depending on students’ skill level, many other advanced topics will be covered. Students will be encouraged to come up with their own ideas, implementations, and creative project topics. The coding challenges will be given to students in the class periodically.

Intro to JavaScript 
Level 1 and 2
Ages 10 and up

This is a popular class with beginner coders. Students are introduced to text-based programming using P5 JavaScript. JavaScript is a very versatile, creative language and coding with p5.js library presents endless possibilities of what you can create. In this class, students learn programming fundamentals such as variables, functions, loops, arrays, and objects. They apply those concepts to make popular games and digital arts.

As students progress to Level 2, they build upon previously learned concepts and learn object-oriented JavaScript. They solve beginner to advanced level programming challenges in the class. As students gain more confidence in their coding skills, they create games with higher complexity.

Web Development
Level 1 and 2
Ages 11 and up

Many students find it exciting to create their own website from scratch!  In this class, students learn the most popular web technologies – HTML (HyperText Markup Language) and CSS (Cascading Style Sheets). They learn how to add content and style to a webpage. Many HTML and CSS web design concepts are covered; we personalize the lessons and project topics to students’ interests and skill levels.

Level 2 advanced students are introduced to JavaScript language and taught how to convert a static webpage into a dynamic interactive website. They continue learning new concepts in Web Development to make websites rich in content and style. We cover DOM (Document Object Module) where students learn how to add, update and delete HTML elements using JavaScript.

Web App Development with FLASK
Ages 14 and up

JAVA Programming
Part 1 and 2
Ages 13 and up

The Java Course provides students knowledge in creating variables, conditionals, loops and arrayList in Java. The course teaches the Object-Oriented programming concepts such as abstraction, inheritance, and polymorphism; this will allow students a head start into AP Computer Science A course. Students will receive live code training and will get plenty of opportunities to practice the coding concepts. We want students to build strong fundamentals and learn computational thinking by understanding and creating program flows, so that they can learn any language in the future.
