DESCRIPTION
Intro To Coding classes at Saturday School help students learn and develop skills in computer programming. A variety of coding activities and fun projects encourage students to progress at their own pace.
Classes are designed at 2 levels – for Grades 3-5 and Grades 6-8 – and are great for new or continuing students (those who have taken the class before).
Our program is fun and challenging – perfect for kids who are creative, enjoy figuring out how things work, or simply love technology.
Our program uses the Scratch programming language. Learn more about Scratch: click here
