The Metis Coding program aims to:
Gain an understanding of key concepts in computer science
Develop the skills necessary to write code in one of several programming languages (Scratch, Python, or JavaScript)
Computer code is very important. Almost every electronic device you use relies on code. The way things work can seem quite confusing, but, with a tutor helping you to break it down, it’s actually simple.
Learning the basics of block coding with sites like Scratch helps young people learn to think creatively, reason systematically, and work collaboratively — essential skills for life in the 21st century.
