Computer science is a foundational skill needed by all students to be competitive in our fast paced technology driven world. Computer science develops students’ computational and critical thinking skills and shows them how to create, not just consume, new technologies. At the Mahopac & Carmel CoderDojo we will explore computer science through a variety of programming languages and platforms.
We strive to balance the club activities between instruction, peer to peer learning and mentoring and self-lead learning through collaborative project work. Instruction will be needed to provide the basics of a technology and a basis for learning and applying newly acquired skills towards fun projects including automation, gaming, robotics and the internet of things.
