Creative coding club for girls in grade 7. Grade 6 who have completed Level 1 and Grade 8 students with no prior coding experience are also welcome. This is a social and creative weekly computer programming club for girls! Using Code/Art’s art-infused curriculum, club members will learn to code animated art, games, mobile apps, websites, and artificial intelligence, and create 3D models! Level 2 includes projects using JavaScript and Python coding languages. Clubs meet weekly over 8 months, with occasional weeks off for holidays, school vacations, etc. (review calendar for exact days).
Prerequistes: Code/Art Level 1 or similar coding experience (or grade 8 with no experience). Instructors may provide guidance, if applicable, on whether the level is right for the student based on past coding experience.Click here for SYLLABUS.
