Every child can code! Develop your skills as a young coder by exploring block coding, JavaScript, and Python concepts while making your own playable mini-games. This introductory coding course is designed to get elementary-aged students excited about technology through a series of hands-on and engaging learning challenges. Student-created games will be available on a password-protected Black Rocket website to share with friends and family. Students will work in pairs or teams for most of the program.

"The magic in every student comes to life as never before when they are empowered to be as creative as they were all born to be! Black Rocket has twenty years of experience designing courses in the S.T.E.A.M fields. Every program is powered by the child's innate imagination and designed to bring their ideas to life in a fun, hands-on learning environment. All Black Rocket programs mirror real-life experiences and the collaborative nature of the design process. Students will work in pairs or teams for in-room programs. Online classes provide a more independent experience, but with an emphasis on peer to peer feedback to enhance the creative process."| Date | Day | Time | Location |
