Learning to Code is a critical skill for children to learn! Much like learning another language, it’s best to have kids learn about programming concepts early and often! In our Scratch Jr class, kids will learn coding concepts including computer automation and linear sequencing. They will make short stories, apply elements of animation, and create their own sprites and objects – all using technology and coding fundamentals!
In this junior robotics course, we use a hands-on approach to STEM discovery. Students learn valuable coding concepts while tapping into their imaginations to create and program robots. Step by step, we build for a variety of cool LEGO robots based around a motor and controller. Then, kids use a block based programming language to make their creation come to life! It’s educational, cool, and FUN!
Let’s combine the power of the physical world with our digital world imaginations in this “hands-on” introduction to coding! Using a micro:bit circuit board, kids learn to CREATE and code with technology. We introduce simple controller mechanics so kids can apply it coding games - making them feel more realistic and interactive. Students don’t just play a game – they build it and control it in their hands!
One of the best ways to get kids excited is to allow them to create something of their own. In class, students bring their imaginations to life in full, 3D color and create games they can play including Frogger Freeway, Underwater Diving, and Sports Games.
Utilizing block coding, this class helps young learners focus on the coding concepts (not typing) to learn about loops, variables, and constructors while having a blast!
This STEAM-focused course introduces students to the exciting and multifaceted world of digital art. Through a series of creative projects, students will learn the fundamentals of graphic design, image editing, digital storytelling, and more. Sample projects include a birthday card, a poster for an imaginary movie, and a simple animation.
This isn’t the usual Roblox! In this class, kids will delve into the amazing world of Roblox Studio - an aspiring game developer’s playground!! Using this software (which is also used in our advanced Roblox Code class), students will sharpen their computer skills, express creativity in new ways, and create their own self-made worlds! Learning about game design concepts, kids will have a blast with games such as Obby and Galactic Speed!
No Chromebooks
Students harness the power of AI technology to support and enhance their creativity while building a unique multimedia story, combining original ideas with the power of AI! Along the way, they’ll learn about creative writing, AI ethics, and a range of AI tools. They will fully develop main characters including personality, imagery, and more. They will use AI to create visuals to represent story locations and utilize ChatGPT to enhance their existing story ideas. Students will also be challenged to think critically about AI-generated content, its many uses, and its limitations.
Note: this class is structured like a creative writing class, but every step of the process uses AI tools to prompt creativity and fully realize students’ ideas
By modifying (modding) Minecraft’s underlying code, kids create powerful objects and special powers that do not normally exist in the game.
Kids learn to code their own mods using a drag and drop interface - students literally “hack” the game and bring their imaginations to life - all while learning Java fundamentals (a widely used programming language).
Each themed class has a specific focus and can be taken in any order! Best of all, kids can test, play, and share their mods so the entire class can play together using their own Minecraft server.
In a world where Artificial Intelligence is rapidly expanding into nearly every field, it’s more important than ever to be prepared for what these changes mean. In this class, students will learn about AI, how to work with it and hot to use it responsible and ethically! To make it fun and educational, we will tackle ecological challenges in the world of Minecraft! Kids will use AI to come up with solutions to a variety of projects to protect the environment, preserve ecosystems, and improve farming and water quality in villages! We navigate Minecraft’s ocean floor using live data streams, learn about creating conservation plans to save Minecraft Ocelots, and develop a chatbot using algorithms.
Projects include:
No previous experience with Minecraft or programming required.
This class provides a powerful learning tool for budding programmers. Using an advanced block coding format, Scratch teaches fundamental programming concepts.
Students learn these critical concepts by creating animations and computer games with interacting characters. Students will apply problem solving skills to debug programs, make customizations and bring their imaginations to life!
If your child loves to play video games, give them even more power to code and control the game with the micro:bit circuit board! In this “hands-on” class, we program a handheld micro:bit circuit board to become our own video game console! With tons of features, these circuit boards are a great tool to teach complex controller dynamics by programming a wide set of game types including Flappy Bird, Obstacle Scroller, and the Dinosaur Game. Progressing to increasingly advanced game designs, kids will program features such as reaction time, smoother motion and more complex "Jumper" styles!

Apps are a huge part of our daily lives! They entertain us, keep us organized, help us communicate, and so much more. With an “easy to use” interface, students can take their ideas and turn them into their very own apps! This introductory app development course guides students through the process of designing and programming multiple kinds of apps while teaching coding fundamentals such as variables, data type, flow control, debugging, and object-oriented programming. Through a combination of creative thinking, problem-solving, testing and technical skills, students will be encouraged to think about the WHY for each kind of app along with being inspired to create every time they have a great idea! This course is a great way to bring student’s creativity and skills to life while they learn exciting coding fundamentals! Projects include: Creating clicker games, a translator app, object collection games
Pre-requisite: Scratch
Have you ever wondered… How Alexa can understand and respond to you? How enemies in video games can work together to try and beat the player? Or how Google can guess what you are searching for before you finish typing? In this course, students use Scratch to learn introductory concepts of Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence. Kids will use these concepts (including augmented reality, simulated learning and functions, and AI behaviors) to create fast-paced interactive games such as Fruit Ninja, Chatbots, and AI Pets!
No iPads or Tablets
In this fun class, students will take coding to the next level by programming games and competitions! With more advanced programming concepts, kids will create their own characters for head to head match ups including Pokemon characters, superheroes, famous sport teams, and their own original characters! Concepts covered include input/output, typecasting, variables, random number generation, and conditionals.
Prior Python experience not required.
No iPads or Tablets
Ever heard of Cookie Clicker or Venture Capitalist video games? These hugely popular games represent an ‘auto clicker” or incremental game genre! In this class, students will create their own auto clicker game. Students will program a game so that when a button is clicked on the keyboard, they can increase their score. With the increased score, they can spend points on upgrades in a shop system (also created by the student) to increase their score further! Students will utilize coding concepts such as conditionals, loops, type casting, and variables to create their own exciting clicker game that even their friends can play.
Prior Python experience not required.
