All About Us
CODEMAKERS teaches introductory, intermediate, and advanced Python programming courses to teens 13+ in the Boston area.
We teach programming much the same way colleges do - no dragging and dropping, no fixing code to generate preset outcomes. From the beginning, our coders learn the core principles of programming in a relaxed and fun environment and gradually build the technical skills needed to develop their own projects and games. Coders also work on robotics projects to develop and apply their programming skills.
Our courses are taught by computer science majors and grad students, with teaching assistance provided by high school students.
PROGRAMS
Make Quantum Leaps in Small Sequential Steps
Introductory Python Workshops
4 sessions
