During our weekly coding classes students will create a variety programming projects from Video Games, Applications, & Websites to Coding Minecraft & Robots that create art!!! Taking the discipline seen in Kung Fu, our Coding Dojos & Immersion Program scaffold programming, logical, & concentration skills to provide students with training in the "Art of CodeFu" offering three Levels of Enlightenment. (Grasshopper-Introductory, Apprentice-Intermediate & Sifu-Advanced)
We teach the fundamental logic of computer programming beginning with Block-Based coding then progress to the more advanced languages such as Python, Java, HTML, CSS & JS.
In addition, offscreen coding activities are implemented to teach the importance of technology and its role in the balance with being Active and In Tune with the outside world. Incorporated themes relevant to Social & Emotional learning empower our students to be themselves while changing the world!

Intro to Coding
(Mini Dojo: K-2nd grade)
Students learn how to build games and tell digital stories by piecing together coding sequences and executing their programs to achieve desired results for their animation. Each day, they are given a theme and an objective then must code each step using graphical code blocks to create unique projects that showcase their creativity as they develop basic coding principles in a user-friendly environment.
Coding Languages Learned: Scratch JR (Graphical Coding)
Core Subjects Incorporated: Problem Solving, Reading, Creative Writing, Math
Coding Core Subjects Learned: Algorithms, Sequencing, Loops, Commands, and Events
Scratch MIT Coding Game Design
(Upper Dojo: 3rd-8th grade)
Students will create custom games each week by piecing together compilations of coding sequences and executing the programs to achieve desired output for their games. Beginning with the game's objective, they must code each instance using hybrid text blocks to develop fully functional elements that successfully complete the programs.
Coding Languages Learned: Scratch (Hybrid Coding)
Core Subjects Incorporated: Problem Solving, Creative Writing, Percent and Fractions, Arithmetic (Adding, Subtracting, Comparing), Graphing and Coordinates
Coding Core Subjects Learned: Variables, For Loop, If Else, Functions, Lists, While loop

Platform Video Game Development
(Mini Dojo: K-2nd grade)
Students will develop their very own, one of a kind, arcade style video game with pixel frame animations and level design platforms. This camp unlocks creative expression empowering kids to design without limits while exploring abstract concepts. From beginning to end, every element of their game, from backgrounds to power-ups to heroes & enemies, will be individually Designed, Customized, & Configured by your child using their imaginations. (Think: Mario, Sonic, or Pokemon!!) *Parents will be emailed link to students game at the end of the session.
Through the design thinking process they will establish the basic coding principles:
Events, Conditionals, Data, Testing, Debugging, Decomposition.
Platform Video Game Development
