About the Coding Club
The Coding Club offers a diverse array of in-person workshops tailored for school-age students interested in delving into coding and exploring popular digital tools. From May to June 2024, we present an exciting lineup of workshops covering various topics such as user interface and experience design, programming logic foundations (using Python), web design, mobile app development, and game development. Join these workshops to refine your coding skills and unlock your creative potential in the dynamic world of coding and digital innovation!
Game Development Part 1
The Game Development workshops will introduce Grade 4-5 students to game design concepts and fundamental coding concepts for game development. At the end of the workshop, students will be given the opportunity to present their projects and celebrate their accomplishments. These workshops will use Microsoft MakeCode Arcade. Game Dev Part 1 is beginner-friendly and will focus on sprite creation, sprite properties (e.g., position, physics, etc.), and events.
