Classes
Beginners learn Python and students who are proficient in a programming language compete in and learn concepts for computer science competitions. See the Classes page for more information including curriculum and times/dates for the 2022-2023 school year.
Why Learn to Code?
With the increasing role technology is playing in our lives, learning to code today is like learning to read in the 1700s. Coding and participating in programming competitions are great ways to have fun, improve problem-solving skills, learn how computers and technology around us work, and explore exciting future career paths.
Why Learn to Code when Chat-GPT like AI tools are available?
The main goal of our program is to improve your critical thinking and problem solving skills. These are transferable skills to any area in the future. If you gain these valuable skills, you will also become a much faster and productive programmer with modern day tools like chat-GPT. Ultimately we need smart people to make AI tools better, they need lot of fixing too!
