Our Program

Through the program school age students use various engaging coding platforms to learn Block Coding . This 7 to 8 week course provides students with basic Computer Science level 1 mastery. This mastery has prepared them to begin their transition from block coding to Phython and or Javascript coding. Students transition from dragging and dropping code to the beginning stages of writing programming code or sequence of symbols. In addition to coding we educate our students on the engineering design process. This process is applied as we begin to construct robots with basic building guides. Students continuously refer to this design process as they meet challenges along the way. Once completed students design their own robots. The engineering design allows students to plan, build , test, analyze, question, and revisit the design as they work to create their very own robot. Students are continuously working to improve their designs and communicating with one another to create the best robot to meet real world scenario challenges. Student also apply their coding transitional skills to program their robot to complete challenges. This is the “Remotes Down Challenge.” Students work with one another to plan the best code to meet the challenge specifications. They test, plan, analyze and improve their code until the challenge is met.
