Coding Clubs & Computer Science
Our coding clubs offer instruction in computer science concepts at varying experience levels for all students in grades 6-12. We have gender specific clubs for girls and coed clubs to be inclusive of everyone. Each club has presentations, speakers and field trips and a culminating impact project to enrich the coding experience.
