I am very excited to welcome all of you to our CS program for the Summer of 2024. We will use this website to share our demo resources and agenda for the program. We will explore the platform of SCRATCH, which is a very powerful tool to learn coding through doing projects. Our projects will be motivated by your critical thinking, creative ideas, community/cultural knowledge and collaboration.
Schedule: July 1, 2024 – July 31, 2024 (Mon-Fri 10 AM – 12 PM)
