Coding with Kids has been teaching coding enrichment classes to K-12 students, both in person and online since 2013. We provide a developmentally appropriate coding curriculum for various grade levels. We focus first on teaching coding skills concepts and introducing students to different programming languages appropriate for their age and experience level. We recognize that each child learns differently. Our curriculum allows students to advance at their own pace. Our goal is that no one is left behind and those students who need extensions have opportunities to stretch themselves beyond expectations. You can learn more at our website, which is www.codingwithkids.com.

Get them started early! Our Little Coders class offers young children the perfect opportunity to develop their computational thinking skills, create their first programs, and have a blast with their friends! Our curriculum is tailored specifically for early readers and takes into consideration their cognitive abilities and attention span, typically found in children aged 5-7. We utilize age-appropriate online tools, including Lightbot, Kodable, and Scratch, to introduce fundamental coding skills. Beginner students learn essential coding concepts such as Loops and Conditions. Through practice, they apply these concepts to build simple projects, including games, stories, and even animated characters. Returning and experienced students encounter new challenges that will allow them to push their coding knowledge to the next level.

Description
Learn to code robots! Students will learn the basics of programming a robot and learn how to use code along with hardware to open up so many more possibilities with technology. Through a block-based, visual programming platform, coders will learn introductory concepts, such as code structure, variables, and loops. They will apply these concepts, along with problem-solving and creative thinking, to program their robot to complete mission challenges, such as avoiding obstacles, light sensing and following a path.
