How is the program helpful in upcoming school year(s)?
This program helps the student in improving critical thinking and improves confidence towards learning latest technologies.
Along with it, this program will teach the fundamentals of completing the “explore project” required by the AP Computer Science Principles class. Please keep in mind that the “explore project” must be created and executed individually.

Does a student need any prior programming experience?
Students with prior knowledge of block-based programming like Scratch, EV3, code.org, Python or Java will have an advantage.
What if the student needs to discontinue the program?
If for any reason, student needs to discontinue, we need at least a two- week notice. Student will be refunded prorated fee.
What if the student misses a session?
We highly encourage students to attend the sessions regularly. If student must miss a session, they need to request the class recording and complete the work before attending the next session. We provide slack channel for students to ask questions.
