Coding 101Program Schedule: March 27-May 15This class will meet weekly from 3-5 p.m. on Fridays.Recommended Ages: 6th-12th gradesCost: $135 (Members), $180 (Nonmembers) Coding 101 is a fun, hands-on introduction to computer science, where students will learn to code in Python while building confidence as creators and problem-solvers. Through interactive activities, games and beginner-friendly projects, students will explore how code works by writing their own programs using variables, loops, conditionals and functions. The class blends creativity with logic by encouraging students to experiment, troubleshoot and think critically while seeing their ideas come to life on the screen. By the end of the course, students will gain a solid foundation in coding, a better understanding of how technology works and the confidence to continue exploring programming in a fun and engaging way.Meet the program instructor: Jessica Newsom Ms. Jess founded Inventors Lab to share her love and passion working with students of all ages and backgrounds to develop their skills in STEM-related topics. Jess graduated with her B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Cal Poly Pomona, where she was also actively involved in creating interactive labs in virtual reality (VR) for the biology department, competing with the Human-Powered Vehicle project team and hosting workshops on how to create aquaponics systems. She has spent the last nine years teaching K-12 robotics while running a center in California, and she has coached VEX Robotics competition teams at the middle school and high school levels. Outside of STEM-related activities, she spends her time in her workshop creating art, developing her own video games, crocheting cute animals, knitting garments and reading. Jess is passionate about sharing her knowledge with others and inspiring them to be creative and tackle cool projects.By purchasing a ticket to this event, you are agreeing to our participant release, participant policies, and social contract.Sign in or register today to become a member of Learning Lab Wichita and receive discounted program and event opportunities!
