Weekly Coding Courses for Y2 – Y12 Students
CODING FUNDAMENTALS, Intermediate Level
Join our weekly Coding Classes for kids in Concord. The Coding Fundamentals, Intermediate coding course consists of four levels and 25 sophisticated software projects, which students develop using block-based programming environment Scratch (developed by MIT Media Lab). During this course students will learn and apply more complex computer science concepts such as booleans, recursive algorithms and lists. Students will also be introduced to the basics of Artificial Intelligence (AI), user interface design and user input validation. Students will both be guided through the creation of projects such as Two-Player and Quiz games and will be given an opportunity to define and develop their own projects independently with a minimal guidance. The benefit of this project based curriculum is that students are able to accomplish a number of original projects themselves, hence they understand the subject matter more deeply.
Time: Every Saturday, 11:45 am – 12:45 pm
Duration: 8 weeks, from 20 October till 8 December
Fee: $176 per student per term (GST inclusive)
Level: Y2 – Y6 continuing students and digitally savvy beginners
Laptops are provided
CODING ADVANCED
Join our weekly Coding Classes for kids in Concord. During the Advanced coding course, students use both Scratch (developed by MIT Media Lab) and more advanced integrated development environment (IDE) Processing (developed by MIT Media Lab). During this course, students will be introduced to a simplified version of Java language using Processing environment, which helps students to make their first steps into text-based coding. Students will also learn more advanced computer science concepts, maths and physics in order to build more sophisticated projects, simulations and app prototypes. Students will both be guided through and encouraged to work independently in order to achieve a specific goal. At the end of the Advanced course, students should be able to build a number of sophisticated projects themselves.
Time: Every Saturday, 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm
Duration: 8 weeks, from 20 October till 8 December
Fee: $176 per student per term (GST inclusive)
Level: Y4 – Y7 continuing students and students with previous experience
Laptops are provided
PRO CODING
Join our weekly Coding Classes for kids in Concord. The Pro coding courses are designed for high school students, who want to learn industry standard programming languages such as Java, C#, C and Robotics. First, students are introduced and learn Java using Processing platform, and then progress to C# while learning Game Development and creating 3D projects in Unity 3D. Students interested in Robotics work with Arduino and Lego hardware and learn the basics of C programming language. The main goal of each Pro course is to make sure students are able to create independent coding or robotics projects by the end of each term. Pre-requisites: Y7 – Y11 students require no prior experience. Primary school students can only take part in these courses if they have completed a full year of Advanced level and / or recommended by our teachers.
