On-Campus Summer Coding Academies
Learn fundamental computer science concepts, develop logical reasoning to solve challenging problems, and partake in hands-on activities related to a career in software engineering.
Python
The Coding: Introduction to Python Academy provides an opportunity for students to learn the fundamentals of the Python programming language, along with best practices. Students will be taught how to represent and store data using Python data types and variables, manage and write code with loops and conditionals, and utilize complex data structures like lists and dictionaries. The strong curriculum allows students to not only learn how to define custom functions and write scripts, but develop foundational problem-solving habits.
Web Development
The Coding: Introduction to Web Development Academy provides an opportunity for students to learn the fundamentals of CSS and HTML, along with design and code best practices. Students will be taught concepts and programs that will reinforce their understanding of modern web-based applications. In addition, the strong curriculum will teach students foundational skills that will enable them to create interactive web apps, troubleshoot complex architecture issues, and stay abreast of the latest in web design and development.
