CodeBrainiac: Coding classes for kids

Welcome to CodeBrainiac

Whether your child is new to coding or has some basic experience, CodeBrainiac has a program for you. Our course will teach the basics of computer programming in an easy-to-follow manner that can be completed online with no prior knowledge required! A four-week course that meets twice a week (45 minutes per session) live via Zoom with our experienced teachers. We make learning to code fun! Utilizing the easy-to-use CodeMonkey platform, students will be exposed to actual CoffeeScript (a language based on the most popular programming language in the world: JavaScript), which is substantially more useful than click-and-drag languages like Scratch.

Level 1

This course is targeted for students with no familiarity with programming. The only requirement is that they must be able to read independently and use Zoom. In this course, students will learn the basics of programming including:

• objects
  
• loops
  
• variables
  
• arrays
  
• indexing
  

Over the course of 4 weeks, they'll join other students in a virtual classroom as they learn to think algorithmically and develop good programming habits. Ideal for grades 1 through 5 (or even later if they've never been exposed to code).

Level 2

This course is targeted to students with some familiarity of programming fundamentals (concepts covered in Level 1). In this level, students will work with our instructors to cover advanced logic including:

• functions
  
• boolean logic
  
• if/else conditionals
  
• program composition
  

In this 4-week course, students will also learn how to talk better about programming concepts and explain them to others. Ideal for grades 3 through 8 (or even younger if they've gone through Level 1).
