How long are events?
Events last no longer than 1.5 hours. We ask the mentors to arrive a little early to set up the computers and stay a few minutes after the event to tidy things up.
My child is older than the age range, can they still attend?
Yes. We have some curriculum that is geared towards older students. They are more than welcome to attend. If the demand grows, we can create specific classes for older students to create a more inviting environment.
What will my child learn at these classes?
Our goal is to get students excited about computer science. There are a range of topics for different age ranges, skill sets, and interests. Students will be encouraged to think critically and creatively to solve problems. Some students will be learning to build websites. Some students will be learning to build games. Some students will be learning how computers work and the process of logical thinking.
My child has never coded before, should we still sign up?
Absolutely! Our beginner events are geared towards new coders with prior experience.
What can we be working on at home?
It’s encouraged to continue these lessons at home. Most of our curriculum is accessible from anywhere. Please see our parent page for details on what websites your student can use and how to create a profile to continue from anywhere.
If my child is losing interest, where can I direct them?
Typically, they are losing interest because the subject matter is not exciting to them or the material is too easy. If this is the case, try challenging them with the next level of curriculum or work on building a website on their own.
