BDPA Twin Cities proudly offers another dynamic class to help bridge the gap for minority youth in the STEM/IT fields. This course is designed for Elementary students to begin building a solid foundation in coding languages and project management skills.
Based on their skill set students will learn the basics or more in depth knowledge on how to use a project-based method for coding through a graphical interface.
Students will explore creativity, reason systematically and work on tasks that are essential life skills such as problem solving and project management.

Students will create and share their project with their peers on the final day of class.
