Do you know what CODING is? Don't miss an opporrunity to explore and ignite interest!
Not everyone needs to be a software programmer (also known as a "coder") but everyone does need to be able to think in a logical, problem solving way in order to be successful. There is no better way to learn something new than by making it fun.
Building a game that you can play is exactly that...fun.
That is how I built this course.
Most teachers who have been asked to teach coding in our kindergarten through 12th grade and home schooling education systems have not built software or managed software teams, I have.
Most teachers have not taught college aged students who went on to be software developers for major corporations or their own startup companies, I have.
Learning to program software creates opportunities. It helps you think logically and solve problems. Every class your child takes... every internship they acquire... every job they will hold.... will require them to solve problems.
This course excites students. This course costs less than a video game BUT you get to MAKE A VIDEO GAME.
Imagine this: You are in your home one day, and you begin to get this really great idea. You begin to tell your son or daughter and they realize your idea needs a website or a smartphone app. You might not know how but you realize they do and they build it for you.
Their coding skills all started when they took that first step in learning to code a game.
This course lays the foundation for a student to want to learn more about coding and technology. It has inspired many kids over many years to become better learners in school and in their jobs.
Communicate and collaborate with others while learning to code.
Companies don't only want just coders, they want team members who know how to work with each other.On
I have taught in higher education for almost two decades, after school STEM programs, and weekend tutoring where I apply a lifetime of experience as a software & database developer, website designer, project manager, and entrepreneur.
Learning new technology never gets old as I continue to sharpen my skills and inspire the next generation of technologists whether in the classroom, home, camp, tutoring, or over a coffee.
