Starting a "learn to code" class or after school program can be overwhelming, especially if you don't have a computer science background.
But with the right tools and support, you can keep your students engaged and excited about making with code.
Starting off a coding club with Vidcode introduces JavaScript in a familiar way. Students already used to editing photos and videos see that code relates to something they're already familiar with.
Students learn more advanced concepts as they make more complicated projects, learning about arrays, functions and if-else statements.
Don't worry! As you get into these more advanced lessons and concepts, there's additional curriculum, lessons, off-the-computer activities, worksheets and presentations that go along with the lessons Vidcode has available online.
Vidcode provides advanced computer science curriculum, teacher training and technical support to help get your club or class set up and running smoothly.
Vidcode also helps make coding a fun and social experience, students can share their code and videos with their class and see what all their classmates are working on. Each class and coding club is part of its own Vidcode group and gallery, where students can show off projects they're working on and share things they've learned with the rest of the group.
