Code Creators: Design, Build, & Play

$0.00

Ever wondered how computer programs are coded? How the games you play, are built? How robots work? How animations get created? This is an opportunity to know a lot more about the world of coding and computers in a fun way! Developed with academics from Oxford & MIT, this course focuses on learning Coding & Robotics in an encouraging environment that emphasises creativity & imagination. Students explore computer science concepts, create customised games & stories, while also honing logical reasoning and problem-solving skills. No previous coding experience is required, just come & have fun creating!
