Code Yogis Level 1:
Level 1 focuses on laying a strong foundation for technology and future coding. With a basic understanding of hardware, circuitry, and electricity, kids can go on to achieve so much more. Scratching the surface of coding with MIT Scratch allows for a strong foundation in computer programming in an easy way for kids to understand. Both the basics of coding and electronic hardware are covered in this 6-week level.
Code Yogis Level 2:
This level concentrates on expanding upon beginner knowledge of programming concepts. Expanding further with Pseudocode and diagramatic programming students can learn the concepts of data, conditions, looping, procedures, and much more to ensure their success in any coding language they may pick up in the future. This 6-week program is the foundation for robotics and machine learning, and prepares kids for any future endeavors in technology.
