Everyone should have an opportunity to learn about computer science! Coding for fun is an introduction to computer science and uses self-led tutorials over the course of one hour. The goal of the "Hour of Code" tutorials is not to teach everyone to become an expert in computer science, but allows everyone to have fun, improve problem solving skills, logic, reading for understanding, and to be creative. This builds a great foundation for learning computer languages and how to write a code for younger ages.  In this session of Coding for Fun we will becreating your own Star Wars galaxy game with block coding and JavaScript. Program is limited to 6 participants.   

This program was designed for 2nd grade and up, but younger children may attend if an adult is present to assist them.
