Prerequisite:
None! If you’ve never done any coding, we’ll get you up and running quickly! If you do have experience coding or are a returning Codebug student, that’s fine too. Our 2020 curriculum is brand new, and our small class sizes combined with lesson extensions ensure that everyone is challenged.
Supplies Needed:
A computer (MacBook, PC, Chromebook – any will do) with access to the internet. We’ll be using Zoom for our virtual class, so having a webcam, microphone, and a quiet place will help! We’ll also be sending (snail mail) you a binder with some supplies for our course.
