JavaScript Coding

Thursdays 3 – 4pm

This program will follow the curriculum from Khan Academy called “Intro to JS: Drawing & Animation”. It covers fundamental ideas of computer science, and helps students learn one of the most popular programming languages right now, JavaScript. The curriculum has 18 modules, each with a few videos, short readings, and hands-on activities. Notable modules include Drawing Basics, Variables, Functions, Looping, and Objects. Students are free to work at their own pace; for students who finish quickly, an advanced Khan Academy course is available. No prior programming experience is required.

About the instructor: Saashin is a local high school student. He’s always been passionate about computer programming and technology. His first experience with coding was in 4th Grade, when he completed the introductory Khan Academy course on JavaScript. Since then, he’s completed online courses in Python, HTML/CSS and JavaScript from University of Michigan, UC Davis and Hong Kong Institute of Technology. He’s volunteered with CodeCombat and is currently at doing a internship with a local company.

This class is open to students 8-18 years old.

This is a recurring class. We’ll run through Dec 18th, take a break and then start again the 2nd week of January. It is a self-paced class. We’ll be working through the Khan Academy course online. We ask that participants have a Khan Academy account before they join class because it’s hectic to have 10 people all trying to register for Khan Academy on the first day of class. Here is the link https://www.khanacademy.org/.

There is a waitlist for students.
