Coding (also called computer programming) is writing a set of instructions on what tasks a computer needs to perform. Some educators and experts are calling it the new literacy - a subject so important that every child needs to know the basics to excel in our rapidly changing world. The Briarlake Coding Club is a club of 4th and 5th graders who are interested in learning how to code, understanding basic computer science concepts and writing code to solve problems. The club will meet once a week after school. Each student is expected to:

• Have average computer mouse/typing skills
• Attend each session
• Be a collaborative team member and problem solver for team activities
• Be creative and Have fun!

During these sessions, we will connect the club members to computer science in the same way that it touches our lives - everywhere.

This club is run by Liberty Garcia (mom to Elise and Max Garcia) & Richard Wright (dad to Aidan Wright). Contact us at [email protected]
