Coding is the language of the future! In this super
fun class, kids learn fundamental programming
concepts including loops, conditionals, and variables
by creating a variety of games and adventures! Kids
marvel at how they can program Scratch to play
baseball, program a dragon to fly around the world,
and go surfing using math! is intro to coding
forms a solid foundation which can be used in other
advanced programming languages. Grades 3-5

Saturdays, Jan 14-Mar 18, 11:00A-12:00P
Have you ever wondered how Alexa can understand
and respond to you? Or how enemies in video games
can work together to try and beat the player? Or
even how Google can guess what you are searching
for before you finish typing? In this course, students
learn introductory concepts of Machine Learning
and Artificial Intelligence. Kids will use concepts
(including augmented reality, simulated learning
and functions, and AI behaviors) to create fast-paced
interactive games such as Fruit Ninja, Chatbots, and
AI Pets! Grade 6-8
