Introduction to Programming
January 14, 2016 @ 5:30 pm - 6:30 pm
$100.00Let’s learn to code! This class meets for 1 hour, every Thursday, for 6 weeks, January 14-February 18. Kids will learn basic programming concepts such as:
- Algorithms
- Sequences
- Repetition (Loops)
- Events
- Conditional Logic
- Debugging
We will use both online and offline methods to teach the concepts, so children won’t spend the whole time poking away at a computer. Our computer-based activities are based on Scratch, which you can use at home, for free.
This course is geared towards children aged 7-11, who are very comfortable reading and using a computer. Typing/writing skills are very helpful, but not required, because Scratch is mostly drag-and-drop. Younger kids might be able to attend, if they are very confident with their reading ability.
