Length of the program:

Varies.

What coding languages do you teach?

Code Explorers offers four educational areas which integrate Computer Science and coding/programming::

  1. CODING:

Computational Thinking and creative coding programming, PYTHON, JAVASCRIPT, JAVA.

2D/3D Computing and the  Visual Arts programming, 2D/3D Game Design and Programming, Mobile App Development.  

  1. ENGINEERING:

Mechanical, Electrical, Aeronautical, Materials, Mechatronics/Robotics, Structural, Architecture. Computer science  integrated with engineering fields: Computer Aided Design and Manufacturing (CAD/CAM). Additive and subtractive manufacturing such as 3D Printers and CNC.

  1. INTERNET OF THINGS (IoT)

IoT interconnects computing devices embedded in everyday physical objects via the networking  layer (eg. WIFI) and enables them to send and receive data. Subject areas are: Physical Computing, Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, and Sensors.

  1. DATA SCIENCE

Computer Science and Visual Arts with Data Science.

What type of skills do students need to have, if any?

The curriculum is developed to enable learning for all creative minds. The majority of  programs do not have prerequisites. However, several IoT, Computer Science and Data Science programs have prerequisites..

What is the profile of your students / target market?

Recipients:Youth 4-13 years old

Internships: High School and College level.

Apprenticeships: 18 and older attending  technical short programs (i.e. TechHire).

Emphasis is on STEAM students including short apprenticeships.

Is there a cost for your program for students?

Anything else that you would like to share?

  • Code Explorers developed and conducted the first Internet of Things (IoT) programs  in the USA for youth to learn, experiment, and explore The Fourth Industrial Revolution.  IoT will lead to tens of thousands of new jobs.
  • Developed and conducted the first Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR)  programs in the USA for youth.
  • Developed the first Preschool Coding programs in the USA for children ages 4-5 yrs old which incorporate language arts, math, reading comprehension and the arts.
