Ages 5-7 Required for class: Computer (desktop or laptop), Chromebook or TabletLearning to code at any age is beneficial to students. Similar to learning another language, early exposure can help a child pick it up with confidence and ease With coding, the earlier children learn coding fundamentals - they can apply it to any programming language they study over time.This class provides a fun and engaging way for young children to learn and apply key coding concepts. During the class, they will program their own interactive games, stories, and animation. Kids have a blast solving problems, designing projects and creatively expressing themselves.NOTE: Parental assistance may be required.
