Code Writing for Kids Summer Kickoff Description:
Code writing for kids returns for the summer starting Saturday, May 30, 2020! Join us for 5 free ZOOM online sessions of interactive fun, design animation, digital literacy, and computer programming for 4th – 6th-grade students (Ages 9 – 12). Each session allows students to explore a new idea, develop a new skill, and grow technically. They will develop their skills and knowledge of computer science by creating their own projects using the object (block-based) oriented programming language on Scratch. They will learn and apply Computer Science concepts such as algorithms, variables, and conditionals statements. Students will further develop skills that are the foundation of any programmer’s toolset while learning how to think like a programmer. Help your child learn the fundamentals of code writing and have fun! Parents are welcome to observe. Limited seats are available. (15)
