Online Resources and Tools
Computer programming, coding, and technology are some of the valuable skills in today’s hi-tech world. Think about how quickly an elementary-school student can navigate the features & functionalities of a new tablet or smartphone and can help his or her tech-challenged grandparents. If these kids can learn some of the tech-know-hows on their own, imagine the innovative and game-changing ideas they may come up with if given a chance to learn these skills in an after-school enrichment program.
Below are some of the useful websites and resources to learn fundamentals in coding and robotics. We have constantly been updating the website with helpful information throughout the school year. Do check our social media pages and subscribe for upcoming workshops and events.
