Week of Code - At Home - Spring 2020 - May Edition

Awesome Inc

Is social distancing making the kids stir crazy?  Afraid they're falling behind in school while you drown in NTI? We understand, and we're with you. That's why we created the Week of Code: At Home!
 
<HR>
<H2>Here's a few of the biggest quarantine mistakes you should avoid with your children: </H2>
<UL>
<LI>
Allowing Kids Too Much Idle Time (It's easy to get carried away with unproductive screen time like Youtube, TikTok, and Facebook)
</LI>
<LI>
Not Encouraging Them to Learn a New Skill (Now is the perfect time to get a step up over their classmates)
</LI>
<LI>
Not Keeping Them Engaged Socially (Peer interaction is important - even if it's just online)
</LI>
</UL>
<H2> </H2>
<H2>The Aweseome Inc U Week of Code will ensure you can overcome these challenges! In this course your student will:</H2>
<UL>
<LI CLASS="MsoNormal">
Learn how to create their own website and video game (Provides productive screen time)
</LI>
<LI CLASS="MsoNormal">
Learn the fundamentals of software development and write professional quality code (Teaches them a valuable and creative new skill)
</LI>
<LI CLASS="MsoNormal">
Have tons of fun making new friends who love coding! (Keeps them growing socially)

<H2>Hear What a Parent Had to Say:</H2>
"My son had an AWESOME week at coding camp. He was able to apply the knowledge and skills that he learned at camp to design a website on the parts and functions of a living cell for a school project.  He was the only one in his whole class who was able to do this, thanks to the camp. The rest of his classmates did the original project assigned - designing a paper brochure.  As a mom, I was extremely proud.  Not only did he design a phenomenal website, but he made an A+ on the project too. Thanks AWESOME INC!"
- Danielle W, Jacob's Mom

Wouldn't it be nice to know your child is being productive without you having to have eyes in the back of your head? This camp runs completely online for 2 hours daily. Which means you have 2 hours of guilt free time to yourself. Lessons are short video conference calls with the class where instructors teach, and are always available to help through 1 to 1 conference calls.
In addition to online video calls, we have created a <A HREF="https://discordapp.com/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Discord</A> channel, allowing for easy voice calls and communication via messages, and making it easier to send and receive links, such as projects, conference calls, tutorials, etc.
Shouldn't your child spend their "off time" learning to create technology instead of just playing with it? Our Home Camp boosts creativity, logical thinking skills, and brain power! Week of Code is a blend of computer programming, problem-solving, and teamwork!
