Hacking Web Games: Coding With Javascript and Modern Developer Tools
Class experience
In this class, we'll go over basic computer science fundamentals while making them relevant by using them to hack online web games using Javascript. This class is a great introduction to the power of the web/programming while also being relevant to intermediate students who want to learn how to explore and actually use their knowledge. By the end of this class, your student will walk away empowered, curious, and ready to build on the fundamentals they've learned throughout our four sessions!...
When I was a kid, I designed Neopets and Myspace websites and for the last three years I've been the lead instructor of a brick and mortar afterschool coding program in San Francisco. I've been private tutoring/teaching programming and math for 5 years now and believe that the best coders are also the ones who enjoy it the most. In my previous role, I learned that helping students develop a positive growth mindset were key to a successful classroom and, thankfully, coding is one of the best ways to do that. I love helping my students grow not just as engineers but as people who are empowered to do anything with the flexible skillset they gain while learning programming. Before, I was a engineering/computer science teacher at a private high school in San Francisco. As a result of my experience, I've come up with a lot of coding drills and analogies that make things simple for everybody while delivering the key concepts. That means we won't just be talking about coding but also about cooking, real estate, and more. At the end of this course, students will hopefully want to learn more and be more willing to learn the drier more theoretical parts of Computer Science. Even if they don't, they'll walk away with the basic knowledge of how to work through things, take things apart, and put things together on the web!
We'll be using Chrome as our browser throughout the course. Any code editor is allowed!
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
This class will require an account on repl.it and chrome installed! We'll be using repl.it to run Node.js in the browser.
Computer Science is the best platform to give kids the tools they need to start making and discovering things on their own. I love how programming allows students to become even better students by helping them learn to fail safely and...
