Coding
Explore the world of technology this summer with coding programs at 糖心传媒 designed for students in grades 4鈥�8.
These engaging, hands-on courses introduce foundational concepts in programming, problem-solving, and emerging technologies in a way that is both accessible and exciting.
From learning computational thinking and building programs in Python to exploring the basics of Artificial Intelligence, students will develop critical thinking and technical skills while creating and experimenting. Each course encourages curiosity, creativity, and confidence鈥攅mpowering students to understand how technology works and how they can use it to bring their ideas to life.
Week 1: July 6-10
9:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m.
Ever wonder how computers provide solutions to problems in ways you never thought of? Computational thinking is the way humans design computers to provide these solutions, through numeric representations and algorithmic design. Learn how to do just that in this course!
Instructor: Faith Mock
Week 2: July 13-17
9:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m.
Imagine you could help a computer create anything you wanted鈥� programming aids in achieving just that! In this course, learn about the basic foundations of programming in Python. Understand concepts such as boolean logic, variables, and conditional statements.
Instructor: Faith Mock
Week 3: July 20-24
9:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m.
In this course, further your Python programming knowledge to design and develop simple programs. Understand concepts such as loops, string formatting/manipulation, and input/output. Prior knowledge of boolean logic, variables, and conditional statements is required if you were not able to join Python I.
Instructor: Faith Mock
Week 4: July 27-31
9:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m.
We hear about it all the time鈥rtificial Intelligence, or better known as AI. By diving into the workings of Large Language Models (LLM’s) we can learn to use AI as a tool, rather than a crutch. In this course, learn about the foundations of AI, how to use it, and the precautions you should know.
