The Coder School Johns Creek Offers Classes & Summer Camps for Ages 7+

April 29, 2019

At the Coder School, we want to do more than just teach coding. We want aspiring coders to use their new-found passion as a stepping stone to thinking outside the box, as a way to channel their ideas in a creative way and, most importantly, to have fun. 

CLASSES

Our core business is our weekly after-school programs run throughout the year. Coding takes practice, and we believe getting kids to code consistently throughout the year is the only way they'll really learn to code! Our programs are for students at all skill levels, ages 7-18, and progress through a broad array of languages from Scratch to Python, Javascript, Java and much more. Our pricing is monthly and varies depending on the program. We have no equipment charges, no initial fees, and no commitments - we just want you to code! 

Classes include:

  • (Platform) Code Class: Our entry level program, only for newbie coders. 
  • Code Coaching: Focuses on a 2-on-1 mentee-mentor relationship with our kids so our students can get the focused attention they need.
  • Code Coaching PLUS: Our premium program that combines our classic Code Coaching® with a Coder Fair spotlight presentation every 3-4 months. 
  • Code Coaching PRO: In our advanced program, invited students get a chance to boost their coder portfolio by a more targeted private Code Coaching session.

SUMMER CAMPS

Our summer camps are run in our school from 9 AM -3 PM Monday - Friday. Kids bring their own lunches and water bottles and we'll take care of the rest! Kids code throughout the week then demo their week's creations later that afternoon. 

Ages: 7 - 18

Camp Descriptions:

Python Startup: Who's ready for some PYTHON! Sounds a little gross, like a giant snake right? But it's actually one of the hottest languages around today. Take advantage of the easy-to-read style of coding while picking up on one of the most popular languages today for professional and beginner coders alike. We'll start out by using an online python platform to learn some basics and practice some fundamental concepts, and time permitting and based on our camper skill set, we may jump on to some more complex Python coding, potentially getting into coding with PyGame.
