Description
Create an interactive web site using HTML and Javascript. Students learn the fundamental concepts of programming like variables, functions, conditionals and loops through making a professional looking web site with nothing but a text editor and some creativity.
Weekly Classes:
Check-in (5 min)
We start our curriculum promptly, so students should be logged into both Zoom and the online coding platform (https://repl.it) at the beginning of the session. Teachers make sure everyone is ready to participate and engage.
Coding Concepts (25 min)
Teacher demonstrates the day's project and how it will work. The enthusiasm sustains the students through the ups and downs of making the code work. Kids learn how to overcome things that "don't work" by figuring it out with the teacher. Coding concepts that will be used in the project will be covered.
Project Coding (30 min)
Teacher demonstrates the connection between the concepts and the day's project. Students work on the project with frequent check-ins by the teacher. Students will have time to add their own personal customizations to the project. Ownership of the project sustains interest in the project and coding.
We provide an online account on https://repl.it for you.

Our 9 year old son tried the trial Game Development (Javascript) class and loved it! I'm so glad we tried it even though he complained before the class, because now he wants to take the class every week. And coding is such an important skill so we're thrilled that he liked it!

My daughter seemed to really like the class. She was busy the whole time.
Improvements:
There was loud instrumental music coming from the website that the instructor had us open for the class. It was very loud and distracting, and we could not figure out how to turn it off. We thought it was coming from the instructor, but once the class was over, we realized it was coming from our computer. If we were to sign up for the class, the teacher would have to tell us how to turn off the music.
