[NOTE NEW DAY AND TIME - SUNDAY AT 2 P.M. - SAME LOCATION]SEATTLE
CODERDOJO IS A FREE MEETUP FOR KIDS, POWERED BY VOLUNTEERS, DONORS,
AND SPONSORS. OUR FOCUS IS TO INSTILL A LOVE FOR PROBLEM-SOLVING AND A
CONFIDENCE WITH TECH THAT WILL MAKE IT POSSIBLE FOR YOUR CHILD TO
LEARN WHATEVER TECH SKILLS THEY'LL NEED TO THROUGH THEIR LIFE AND
CAREER, WHETHER THEY BECOME A SOFTWARE DEVELOPER, CARDIAC SURGEON, OR
ARTISAN BAKER.
ONE TICKET PER CHILD PLEASE. IF YOU ARE UNSURE, PICK *ONE* ROOM AND WE
CAN ADJUST WHEN YOU ARRIVE.
WHAT'S ON THIS WEEK?
Ages below (except for FreeCodeCamp.com) are recommendations and not
strictly enforced. Remember that whatever room you sign your child up
for, you can always move to another at any time so long as there's
somewhere for them to sit.
BEGINNERS (ALL AGES):
If they've never coded or had just a little experience a while back,
get a ticket for this room. We'll get them started on some tutorials
to get them some confidence and some basic concepts.
SCRATCH (2ND GRADE & UP):
Scratch is a programming tool that lets kids create programs by
combining different pieces that do things. No typing is required, no
special software is needed, and after they've done a couple of
Beginner tutorials, they'll be able to jump into this pretty easily.
It does require Flash so iPads and Android tablets won't work.
HACKER ROOM (4TH GRADE & UP):
This is the "anything goes" room. Want to build a website, experiment
with an Arduino kit, learn Python, do some Minecraft hacking with
JavaScript? This is your room.
SPECIAL FOR FEB/MAR: RETRO GAMING WITH JAVASCRIPT (WEEK 4 OF 5)
PRE-REQUISITES: Typing, basic understanding of variables, loops, and
coordinate systems.
This week we'll build a side-scrolling platformer. This will help
build and reinforce skills with layering, scrolling backgrounds, game
physics, and level design.
THIS IS A PROGRESSIVE WORKSHOP, meaning each week builds upon the
last. If you miss a week, please catch up via the materials in our
Github repo [https://github.com/seattlecoderdojo/RetroGamingWorkshop].
_We will not catch you up at Dojo_.
FREECODECAMP.COM (8TH GRADE & UP):
Free Code Camp is a free professional developer certification
program. It's an online, self-paced, free program that starts from
beginner level and helps its learners become certified full-stack
JavaScript developers ("full-stack" means being able to design *all*
parts of a web app on both the front and back ends of the process).
Teens work at their own pace, and can get help and camaraderie at our
meetups.
