New! Elementary After School S.T.E.A.M. Program
Exploring Coding
Every student in elementary school should have the opportunity to learn computer science. Come join this after school program and learn how to create your own coding experience! The sessions will cover how to get started with the basics of coding and hopefully you will be inspired to create custom applications, games, and animations of your own. You will then get plenty of hands on play time. The learning goal for this session is to inspire you to begin coding on your own and further explore all the possibilities the world of coding can offer. Most importantly, you become the designer and creator of your own digital content.
