Tinker Crew: 1st-2nd Grade Students

*Please register for Tinker Crew ONLY if you have completed our foundational Coding Club course. Tinker Crew builds upon the curriculum from that course.

Parents and students both want to know what's next after completing our Coding Club. Tinker Crew provides 12 weeks of student-led sessions that allow learners to dive deeper into their chosen interest of coding topics and practices like programming, robotics, game design, and more.

For a one-time fee, students will gain access to the Tinker Crew for the entire semester and receive a t-shirt to wear on Tuesdays when the Crew is in session!

Tinker Crew is more exploratory than our individual classes and clubs as students are given more space to ask questions and try new things. Students are encouraged to make unique learning choices while developing their computer science and programming skills.

We all want our kids to find their passion or engage in activities that stimulate their love of learning. Parents will see their children learn problem-solving techniques, foster a drive to try something new, and gain knowledge about coding and technology that can assist them in the future.

We'll meet weekly on Tuedays from 5:30-6:30 p.m. during the semester.

Our 12 sessions will run from August 20th to November 12th with a short Fall Break based on local school schedules. *Class will NOT meet October 8th!
