Be ready for the real-world programming challenges for 6 -12th graders with FIRST Tech Challenge robots for sensors, drives, and more!

<h2>Class Description</h2><h3>The program class will cover basic coding, and this is the prerequisite for the FRC Java programming class. </h3>This course is typically geared toward students entering grades 4-9.Coding is becoming a major skill needed in any field. This skill is one of the foundations of STEM careers for the next generation. This course is designed to inspire your child to pursue STEM academics and is their first step toward a future STEM career in programming and robot controls.Students will learn basic programming principles needed to program and control an FTC Robot. Hands-on exercises encourage students to think like a coder and develop important logic and problem-solving skills.Using block coding students will be able to grasp the syntax necessary to code. Guided by our instructors, participants will create basic code for the operation of a robot. At the end of this course, students should have the foundation to be able to translate their knowledge into whatever additional coding software they choose and control a Robot!<h2>Class Schedule</h2>Every Tuesday, there are two sessions available at either 5:00 PM to 6:30 PM or 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM Class Start day: 10/03 and End day, 11/28The program will be delivered in person at 2102 Cambridge Beltway Drive.
