Coding Clubs

CREATING BOLD IDEAS & EXPLORING TECH CAREERS

What’s a Coding Club?

Target Audience: 3rd - 8th Grade Students

Our Coding Clubs program is an engaging, out-of-school opportunity for students in 3rd through 8th grades to explore the exciting world of computer science through project-based learning. Whether students are just getting started with coding or already have some experience, Coding Clubs provides a supportive and fun environment where they can develop essential technical skills and bring their creative ideas to life.

Students work on hands-on coding projects, such as building their own games, websites, or animations, while learning programming languages like Scratch, Python, and JavaScript. Each session focuses on solving real-world problems, fostering collaboration, critical thinking, and innovation.

A unique feature of Coding Clubs is the mentorship provided by technology professionals. These mentors volunteer their time to guide students through their projects, offering personalized advice, inspiration, and insight into the tech industry. Mentors serve as role models, showing students the many pathways they can pursue in technology and providing encouragement every step of the way.
