Little Coders by Coding with Kids
Grades K-2
Fridays, 3-4pm
Our Little Coders class is an opportunity for young children to develop their computational thinking skills, build their first programs, and have fun with new friends! The curriculum is designed specifically for early readers and takes into account cognitive abilities as well as the attention span typical for ages 5-7. We use age- appropriate online tools, including Lightbot, Kodable, and Scratch to introduce basic coding skills. Students learn basic coding concepts, such as Loops and Conditions. They practice these concepts to build simple projects, including games, stories, and drawing and animating game characters. At the end of the course, students will be able to comfortably build simple scratch projects on their own.
