Curriculum:

Ages 6-7:
*Let's learn how to code!   Our innovative computer science curriculum is designed specifically for beginning readers, providing them with a strong foundation in programming concepts through a hands-on approach. Campers will engage with fundamental programming commands, such as loops and events, fostering an understanding of how these elements function within code. Each lesson not only focuses on technical skills but also emphasizes the importance of collaboration, enabling campers to work effectively with their peers. By engaging in group projects and discussions, learners develop essential teamwork skills that are crucial for success in both academic and real-world settings.
 
Ages 8-11:
*Let's learn Programming! In this dynamic course, students will embark on an exciting journey through the Sprite Lab programming tool, laying the foundation for a robust understanding of coding concepts while emphasizing the importance of online safety. The curriculum begins with engaging, interactive projects that not only capture students' imaginations but also build their confidence as they create their own digital experiences. As they progress, learners will delve into more complex coding concepts, such as nested loops, functions, and conditionals. These foundational skills will empower them to tackle challenging puzzles that require critical thinking and problem-solving, enhancing their computational thinking abilities.
