Online Coding Class
STEM4kids offers a full computer science curriculum for students ages 8-18. STEM4kids courses are for beginner students to develop their fundamental programming concepts to advance concepts with the core goal to develop logical and problem solving skills.
Our core curriculum covers the programming languages Python and Java, with additional coding courses offered in web programming and app development (HTML, CSS, and Javascript). Through five levels of Python, we cover up to college-level topics in algorithms, data structures , Machine Learning & AI, Game Development - Pygame.
Three level in Java Programming - we cover from beg - Adv level, topics cover up to college level and AP Java course
Game and App Development course have level for student starting from grade 1 to grade 9 with to goal to Transformed Logic , Abstract Thinking, Learn Artificial Intelligence and Build Full Entrepreneur-ready Games and Apps with Object Oriented Code
Each course typically takes 3-6 months to complete. Our most advanced students progress to our USACO Training Program for competitive programming against students around the country.
