AppJamming: Make Your Own App! (Age 9-11) @ Kowloon

This course aims to empower students through teaching them problem solving using technology.

 

From introducing fundamental computer science concepts, applying Design Thinking process to utilizing AppInventor as a language, students will be guided to apply problem solving skills to their daily lives. Adapting a curriculum used in Silicon Valley, First Code Academy covers user­-centric design and mobile app development. Students receive personal guidance from professional trained instructors in thinking through algorithms, decomposing problem and formulating multiple solutions.

Camp Highlights

  • 8:1 Ratio Guarantee

First Code Academy believes in developing a personal relationship with the student. All instructors are as much teachers as they are facilitators, and coach for students' learning. By ensuring a small class, each student benefits from maximum attention from instructor and teaching assistant, and at the same time, learns from peers.

  • Personalized Learning

Courses are designed for students to run at their own pace. Curriculum is level-based for each module, meaning that each student can learn at their own appropriate, customized pace.

  • Hands-on Project-based Learning

First Code classrooms are messy and chaotic! First Code Academy believes in hands-on creation, experimental learning and lots of discussion.

  • Follow on Curriculum for Immersed Learning

What happens after this holiday? Like learning any other language, learning to code is best done through an immersive, continual commitment. First Code Academy offers a multi-year curriculum that allows students to deepen and broaden their interests in computer science and software development.
