Codebug
Learn to Code this Summer
Coding is quickly becoming the universal language of the future. It opens your mind to new ways of thinking that can be applied across every facet of your life.
Through coding, students will be empowered to embrace confusion. They will learn to interpret problems, combine logic with creativity, and step through solutions, becoming comfortable with the unfamiliar.
At Codebug you will be introduced to the fundamentals of computer science through the same programming languages and practices used by professional software engineers. Learning to code opens the door for students to work in any industry, solving the problems about which they are the most passionate. It has the ability to turn passions into projects, and projects into businesses that can impact the world. We’re here to support those students.
