We use three primary curricula for programming:

For our younger kids, ages around 9-12, we use Google's CS-First program which leverages great video tutorials combined with MIT's Scratch programming environment. for the 2018-2019 year, we are offering the Storytelling and Game Design modules:

For our older kids, around 12-19, we use GREAT curriculum from HackClub.com which was created to help facilitate creating programming clubs in high school. Kids will learn HTML, CSS and JavaScript. See www.hackclub.com for more information.

If you are serious about learning to code and see yourself someday working as a programmer, we leverage the FreeCodeCamp.org curriculum and support your independent study by meeting up on a monthly basis. See www.freecodecamp.org for more information.

Our primary curriculum for electronics is the curriculum from www.podpi.com. This curriculum teaches basic discrete and digital electronics and programming in JavaScript on the Arduino microcontroller.

We are still developing our robotics curriculum, but it will be based primarily on the Arduino microcontroller using JavaScript and the Johnny-Five robotics library.

We showed our kids what is inside a computer, how to install and backup a computer operating system, built an animatronic skull-bot, built a typing robot and many more!
