AGES 7+ Get the best of all worlds with our most popular multiple session class that combines the hands-on, kinesthetic learning of LEGO® WeDo® with the computational thinking of game coding. Students will learn how to create a simple video game using Scratch, free software from MIT that they can use at home long after the class. Then, we’ll bring the action to life as we build and program LEGO® WeDo® robots to go with our game. Students collaborate on their borrowed robot sets, but each student will make his or her own game to keep!
This series is typically taught in four 2-hour sessions, but may be adjusted to suit scheduling needs.
TWEENS, TEENS, ADULTS, SENIORS Gigalearn tailors each coding club to the specific skills and interests of the attendees. In each session we’ll explore different tools, programming environments and languages. As participants build experience, they’ll work more and more at their own pace, supported by the instructor when needed, so that they feel empowered to experiment long after the class.
Topics may include: Web Coding (HTML & JavaScript), Python, Alice 3D Animation & Video Game Coding, Alice with Java, Game Coding with Scratch or GameMaker, Coding Robotics with LEGO® MINDSTORMS® EV3 and/or RobotC.
8-hour Series: $1200
Coding Club AGES 7+
Intro to Web Coding: Javascript
JavaScript is a foundational programming language that can control how web pages look or how we interact with them. The JavaScript interpreter comes with every major web browser, so after the class, users can continue to experiment on their own computers without installing anything new.
Two-hour Standalone: $350
Intro to Web Coding: HTML
In this introductory class we'll explore source code and play with Hypertext Mark-Up Language and a smidge of JavaScript, two essential tools of professional web developers.
Two-hour Standalone: $350
Intro to Python
Python is a powerful but friendly open source text-based programming language that can be used to create web apps, games and programs for the Raspberry Pi®. It is often taught as a first language in college courses. In this class for beginners we’ll explore the basic syntax and create a few programs together.
