Virtual Junior Coding
Our Virtual Coding program is a crash course that will allow students to master the basics of coding.
There are two programs offered: Introduction to Python and Introduction to HTML & CSS. In these crash courses, students will work to create their own program and learn the basics of coding logic, programming functionality, and theory.
Please Note: These two virtual programs, Introduction to Python and Introduction to HTML & CSS, combine our Level 1 and Level 2 Python and HTML & CSS-courses that the Engineering Outreach Office offered in 2020 and 2021. If you've taken those courses in the past, the content will be extremely similar.
Program Highlights:
-
Amplify your coding knowledge in this crash course that explores the fundamentals of computer engineering!
-
Explore the software and hardware used in creating the computer systems we interact with daily.
-
Get started with the basics of two popular coding languages --Python and HTML & CSS.
-
Every virtual classroom has 2 to 3 instructors, allowing students one-on-one time with instructors to ask questions, get help and receive personalized feedback.
-
Enhance your STEM knowledge and leadership skills!
-
Make friends, solve problems and get ready to code!
