CodeBrainiac: Coding classes for Kids in Middle School

Welcome to CodeBrainiac

Whether your child is new to coding or has some basic experience, CodeBrainiac has a program for you. Our course will teach the basics of computer programming in an easy-to-follow manner that can be completed online with no prior knowledge required! A four-week course that meets twice a week (45 minutes per session) live via Zoom with our experienced teachers. We make learning to code fun! Utilizing the easy-to-use platform, students will be exposed to actual Python code which is substantially more useful than click-and-drag languages like Scratch.

Python Level 1

This course is targeted to students in middle school with no prior programming experience.  This course will address Common Core State Standards CSTA K - 12 Computer Science Standards including Algorithms, Variables, Control, Modularity and Program Development through a set of challenges.

Some key concepts to cover includes:

• Sequencing
• Lists
• For Loops
• Range
• Variables
• Slice
• If/Else
• While loops
• Boolean operators
• Functions

Over the course of 4 weeks, they'll join other students in a virtual classroom as they learn to think algorithmically and develop good programming habits. Ideal for grades 6 through 8 (or even earlier if they've completed Coding Fundamentals Beginner course).
