Extension activities
As you may already know Computer Explorers does a lot of work with coding. We have so many different coding classes and keep adding more. Coding is becoming a norm for elementary aged children and we help them learn the knowledge they need to excel in and out of school. Just take a look at this link and take a peek at what is going on in today’s coding world https://hourofcode.com/us. Here is another link of some coding examples, these are definitely some of the coding your child can learn in our classes, I recommend taking a look to see the many different types of coding there really are http://ey.westside66.org/wiki/pages/62T9F8/Coding_Examples.html, and lastly, here is a link that proves how important it is for your child to learn coding, it will soon be coming into your childs school (if it has not already) http://www.edutopia.org/blog/add-coding-elementary-curriculum-now-matt-harrell. We truly help all of our students understand the different coding languages such as Java, C++, etc. and with this knowledge they will not be fearful of coding in school, because coding can be very intimidating. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me directly at compexplorers.danae@gmail.com. If you would like more ideas for your child or if your child would like some extension activity ideas from a class that has just ended, please reach out to me, after all that is what I am here for. I would also like to give you a glimpse into some of our classes, so if your on the fence about enrolling your child, maybe this will help make your decision!
