In this exciting and interactive coding adventure, learners will dive into the world of programming, all in Spanish! 🎮💻 They’ll explore key coding concepts with fun tools like Scratch (bloques) or Python (texto), creating their own projects, from games to animations, while developing problem-solving skills. 🚀✨

🔹 ¿Qué aprenderán? Variables, bucles, condiciones, desarrollo de juegos, y animaciones. Todo se enseñará en español.

Classes are designed to be hands-on, with live coding, interactive projects, and space for questions. Let's code and learn together in Spanish! 👾

🔹 Topics we’ll explore:

Variables: What they are and how to use them

Loops and conditions: Key elements in building dynamic programs

Game development: Creating your own interactive games!

Animations: Making characters move and respond to input 🎬🎮

🔹 Class Structure & Teaching Style: Each session is designed to be interactive and hands-on. Learners will follow along with live demos, participate in discussions, and work on their own projects in real-time! We’ll start with a short introduction, jump into coding together, and leave time for questions and feedback at the end. 💡👩‍💻

🔹 Engagement & Interaction: Expect lots of collaboration! I'll encourage students to share their ideas, ask questions, and offer peer feedback. We'll use live coding exercises, fun quizzes, and even some friendly competition to keep things exciting. 🎉📊 This isn’t just about coding — it’s about learning through doing!

Whether you're new to coding or looking to sharpen your skills, this class is designed to be fun, supportive, and tailored to different learning speeds. Let’s make coding creative and engaging together! 👾

If a student is absent for the first part of a game a Starter file will be sent to the student so they are caught up and at the same place as the rest of the class. You can join this ongoing class at any time!
