Java is a high-level, class & method-based, object-oriented programming language that is owned and operated by Oracle. It is mainly used for data processing and desktop/mobile app production. 

In this rigorous and fast-paced class, your child will learn everything this language has to offer. It will lay the foundations for your child to strive in the coding industry while helping them gain hands-on experience while working as a team, improving problem solving skills, and coming up with solutions to real world problems.

Some of the units taught in this class include but aren't limited to:

• Introduction to Java and JDK

• Variables & Primitive Data Types

• Operators & Expressions

• Conditional Statements

• Iteration / Loops

• Objects

• Methods

• Writing Classes

• Arrays

• ArrayLists

• 2D Arrays

• Inheritance

• Recursion

Recommended: Learn some of the basics of Scratch on your own, or take our 4-class Scratch basics course before taking this class if you are new to programming. I will be teaching at a quick pace to make sure everything is fully covered in this class.

In this class, students will learn not one, but two full years worth of AP courses: AP Computer Science A (Java), and AP Computer Science Principles. This course is by far the most challenging course offered by us, as it covers the full material of two different classes within the span of just six months. This course will help prepare students to take both the AP Computer Science A and AP Computer Science Principles tests without taking the course in school. After taking this class, your child will feel confident in the material they learned, and ready to take the test with minimal studying required after.

Some of the things taught in the AP Computer Science A (Java) part of this course include but aren't limited to:

• Primitive Data Types

• Using Objects

• Boolean Expressions and If Statements

• Iteration

• Writing Classes

• Array

• Arraylist

• 2D Array

• Inheritance

• Recursion

Some of the things taught in the AP Computer Science Principles part of this course include but aren't limited to:

• Computational Solution Design

• Algorithms and Program Development

• Abstraction in Program Development

• Code Analysis

• Computing Innovations

• Responsible Computing

Recommended: Learn some of the basics of Scratch on your own, or take our 4-class Scratch basics course before taking this class if you are new to programming. I will be teaching at a quick pace to make sure everything is fully covered in this class.

Scratch is a user-friendly, block-based programming language that is developed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). It is primarily used for creating interactive animations, games, and stories.

In these fun and interactive classes, your child will learn the basics of Scratch and how to use it to create their own projects. This class is perfect for beginners who are new to programming and want to learn the foundations of coding.

In Scratch Basics, some of the units taught include but aren't limited to:

• All types of blocks

• Logical thinking

• Data types & Variables

In Scratch, some of the units taught include but aren't limited to:

• Everything listed above

• Creating blocks

• Using extensions

• Game design

• Using the math class & operators

In Scratch & Snap!, some of the units taught include but aren't limited to:

• Everything listed in Scratch Basics & Scratch

• Learning how to use Snap!

  • Snap! is a language similar to Scratch made by UC Berkeley.

• Learning the similarities and differences between both languages, and which one to use when
