CodeFu: Social Development through Coding (K - 5th Dojo)

by CodeFu: Coding for Kids (SF BAY AREA)

DescriptionCodeFu is the nation's top after-school coding program, teaching kids coding skills through the lens of social and emotional development. Whether it's learning cybersecurity, building personal websites, developing video games, or simply cultivating good character, there's always something valuable to learn at CodeFu! We prioritize being educators first and programmers second, ensuring that our students receive proper social and emotional development. Coding is our medium to teach essential skills in mathematics, language, and art. Our curriculum, designed by a team of educators and professors from Stanford to UC Berkeley, follows a scaffolding system. This method allows students to progress through different levels within each section before moving on to new topics. Each class starts with 10 minutes of Tai Chi to help students relax and focus. In our CodeFu Dojos, students create various projects, from apps and games to personal websites and coding robots that tackle real-world issues like pollution and overpopulation. The journey begins with block-based languages and progresses to programming languages such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Ruby, and Python. No prior coding experience is required! Join us at CodeFu, where learning is fun, engaging, and transformative. See you there – Hiii Ya! Coding languages learned: Scratch Jr, Bloxels, Scratch, Python, HTML Core Subjects Incorporated: Problem Solving, Creative Writing, Percents and Fractions, Arithmetic (Adding, Subtracting, Comparing), Graphing and Coordinates Coding Core Subjects Learned: Variables, For Loop, If Else, Functions, Lists, While loop
