Code2Discover does not have upcoming sessions on ActivityHero right now. We can send you an email when they do.
At Code2Discover, we teach kids ages 7-14 through live online classes to use coding to discover their creativity, their ability, and maybe even their future. Our coding classes take students from the very beginning stages of coding to the advanced use of Javascript.
Along the way, students discover how to create video games, Minecraft mods, and more. More importantly, we help students gain the confidence that they can create amazing things with coding.
Our classes are separated into levels. Each level builds on what students learn in a previous level of classes. The levels are also flexible in that students that have some previous coding experience in another program may be able to take classes at a higher level. Please see the descriptions below to determine what level might be best for your child.
Beginner Classes-- In these classes, there are no prerequisite skills students needed. They are introduced to basic coding terminology and techniques. They may have dabbled in a few other coding classes/programs, but they are not confident with basic coding terminology and techniques.
Level 2 Classes-- Students have taken one of our beginner classes or have participated in a coding program with another organization. Although they may not be fluent in any coding language, they recognize coding terms like loops, logic (IF/THEN), and variables.
Level 3 Classes-- Students have taken one/two of our level 2 classes or spent time learning a coding language previously and know how to use and explain things like loops, logic (IF/THEN), conditions, behaviors, and variables. They are ready to learn a text-based language that requires attention to detail.
All Code2Discover classes are taught by owner and lead instructor Shawn Walk. Shawn has more than 17 years of experience in education and teaching technology skills to kids. Prior to Code2Discover, he was an elementary teacher and founder of a company that used Minecraft to help students learn important 21st century skills. Shawn is a certified elementary teacher in PA and has a Masters Degree in Curriculum and Instruction. His goal is to help kids learn the skills they need in today's world, but also help them believe they can be the creators of new technology instead of simply consuming it.
