What our students are saying ...
“I really enjoyed this class because I learned so much useful info about computer programming. For example, I really liked the coded self-portrait project. Even though I started with no knowledge of any type of computer programming, I quickly learned many things. If I didn't understand something, the teacher was very helpful and explained my mistakes and what I could do to improve.”
