Entering The World of Coding

Help me give my students this particular coding kit. They have shown a great interest coding. I don't know much about it but I feel like this is a great way to get started and improve.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

This particular group of scholars are very good, intelligent, and respectable young men. This isn't my actual teaching class but young men whom I mentor at my church home. I love them for their unique personalities and their willingness to learn.

My Project

The incredible young men in our youth group have been showing a great interest in coding for some time now. I don't know a lot about it but I promised them that I would find a way to help them learn about and experience it.

We will be using this coding system in one of the classrooms at my church home.

The goal is for them to learn how to code and pursue a future in it if they chose to. We'll work through this coding process together because I don't know anything about coding myself.

We meet every second Saturday of the month and discuss our Lord and Savior and things that they have shown in interest in, coding happens to be of great interest. I don't know much about coding but I will take this kit, study it, and perfect it with my group of scholars. Right now I have a group of 8 scholars.
