Young women and students not traditionally represented in tech companies are encouraged to join! Computer science jobs are in very high demand and high wages. There is no homework, and you won’t put a burden on your guardians for homework or tutors. Coding experience is not needed. Students leave with a web portfolio of their coding showcase. This is a project based course in computer programming; and it is intended for students who have no programming experience. The first part of the course will cover webpage design with HTML and CSS. The second part of the course allows students to use their own language and design a game. Students can pick from coding tools such as Python or JavaScript or anything they select. We code a small game connected to their portfolio.
