In Coding Space classrooms, students learn entirely through creating projects. Projects allow students to work on their critical thinking and problem solving skills while simultaneously picking up the hard skills of coding. Students create games in scratch, progress to websites in HTML, CSS, and Javascript, as well as work in many other tools and languages depending on what keeps them both engaged and challenged. They create projects not by using tutorials, but rather by learning to think critically and create their own solutions to problems. This class is open to coders who have completed our Beginner classes or have previous experience coding. Students will code in our advanced Scratch curriculum, Javascript, HTML, and CSS.

Using the power of computational thinking, coders turn creative ideas into tangible websites, games, and mobile apps. By developing their ability to think logically, coders develop the skills necessary to excel in their other STEAM courses like math and science with ease.
A graduate of U Penn, founder Steve Krouse says he fell in love with learning when his parents enrolled him in an after school computer science program during middle school. 'My aim is to share that excitement with other students, just like my parents shared it with me.'
