SPS Kids’ Coding Club (Grades 3 – 8)
All levels/Beginner, Mondays 9:30 – 10:30 a.m.
*Parents can select specific dates for the classes. You don't have to commit to a whole month.
*Students with little or no previous coding experience must complete 16
days of beginner club classes before joining the Intermediate/Advanced Kids’ Coding Club.
The All Levels/Beginner SPS Kids’ Coding Club is designed to introduce students to computer coding and technology in a fun, collaborative, and interactive environment. Students learn through games, puzzles, debugging exercises, challenges, and creative exploration. Students will develop necessary logic skills and fluency with the coding process using the SCRATCH programming language. Kids in earlier grades are welcome to join us as long as a parent stays to assist their child.
Intermediate/Advanced Kids’ Coding Club
Mondays:
Option one: 9:30 – 10:30 during the “All Levels Club”
Option two: 10:30 – 11:30 during the Intermediate/Advanced Coding Club
Option three: 9:30 – 11:30 during both club sessions for a full 2 HOURS!!
At the Intermediate/Advanced level, we take programming to the next level by incorporating programmable robots into our activities. Using Sphero bots, LEGO Boost, Ozobot Bit & Evo robots, and LEGO Mindstorms robotics kits, students will experience the ultimate hands-on coding class. Building, coding, testing, debugging – all the key elements of developing a functioning and reliable computer program will be incorporated into each club meeting. In addition to the MIT-developed SCRATCH language, we will also use JAVA. Students that wish to go even further with the coding experience will have the opportunity to learn PYTHON, and even build a computer with a Raspberry Pi (supplies and equipment not included in the registration fee).
World of Wonder Science’s primary objective with the Kids’ Coding Clubs is to foster a tech-based learning environment where kids can come together and have a lot of fun as they explore and learn the process of coding and computer technology.

Computer Equipment:
Students are encouraged to bring their own computer device (tablet, smartphone, Chromebook or laptop). Most of our programming and robots are compatible with Mac, iOS, Android, Windows, and Chrome. A limited number of loaner Chromebooks are available on a first-come, first-served basis. As needed, students may need to work with a partner.
Do I need to start in September? No.
The club is self-paced and on-going, so students can join at any time during the year. New students will begin to learn coding by completing Google's CS First coding program. Each module requires 8 weeks to complete. Students that wish to move on to more advanced coding must first complete a minimum of two CS first modules, or provide documentation to confirm prior experience.
Upon completion of two CS First modules, students are given the option of continuing the CS First program, doing independent projects, or moving on to programming with any of our many robots!!
The SPS Kid's Coding Club meets at Artsy Partsy, 8055 Ritchie Hwy Suite 302, Patriot Plaza 3rd Floor, Pasadena, MD 21122.
