NextGen Coders offers a structured and engaging program designed to nurture students' confidence and skills as future coders. Our program features two core classes that meet every Saturday over the course of 12 weeks.

​

Introductory Computer Science Principles Class

 

This class is perfect for beginners aged 10-17, providing a solid foundation in coding fundamentals using JavaScript-based block coding through code.org. Students will explore core concepts such as variables, functions, loops, traversals, and parameters.

​

Intermediate Python Class

 

Tailored for students aged 14-18 or those with prior coding experience, this class takes coding skills to the next level. Students learn Python programming concepts, including variables, functions, conditionals, loops, exceptions, and libraries. Projects from Harvard's online Python course and tools like GitHub are integrated to provide a hands-

on learning experience.

​

Both classes emphasize practical projects and collaborative team-building activities to foster problem-solving skills and enhance students’ ability to work in a group setting. By the end of the program, students will have gained the confidence and expertise to tackle complex coding challenges and apply their skills in real-world scenarios.
