Coding League Fall 2017 (Mondays)
Event Information
Description
The Coding League is designed for students ages 11 - 14 (approx. 6th - 9th grade)
Please inquire if your student doesn't fit that age range but you still want them to participate - info@awesomeincu.com
What happens when you’ve pushed the limits of block-based programming languages like Scratch? It’s time to start using more powerful, professional-grade tools. HTML, CSS, and JavaScript are the building blocks of the web and are the focus of our intermediate-level course for youth, the Coding League.
Students in the Coding League use code to create websites. These websites range from informational pages on students’ hobbies and interests, to interactive games, and handy utilities. Coding League participants should have some prior programming experience, such as a basic course at school or Awesome Inc’s Coding Club, and be comfortable typing at least 20 words per minute.
Coding League Outcomes:
- Go beyond to block-based languages to use text-based programming
- Learn Computer Science fundamentals
- Explore the creative power of programming, start building a portfolio of professional-quality code
Class size
This course is capped at 12 students.
Class schedule
The League will start September 11th and run every Monday from 5-6:30 pm through December 4th. We typically observe any holiday / weather cancellations from FCPS.
Registration policy
Find it's not a good fit? No problem. We'll refund any unused portion, no questions asked.
Do students need their own computer for this course?
Yes. Each student will need to provide his/her own laptop for the course. Microsoft Windows-based PC's, Apple macOS computers, or Google Chromebooks will work, but iPads will not work for this course. We recommend a laptop made within the past 3-4 years. Computers should be free from viruses/malware.
We use CodePen programming tools for this course. New students should create their own accounts (free) prior to class.
We have a very limited number of rental laptops available for $25/day, which can be reserved online.
What is Awesome Inc U?
Awesome Inc U is devoted to teaching coding skills. It’s never too early or too late to learn how to code. You don’t have to be a genius to learn to code, you just need to be determined. Check out what some of our past students have to say:
