About this Event
What is Tinker Crew
*Please register for Tinker Crew ONLY if you have completed our foundational 3rd-5th Coding Club course. Tinker Crew builds upon the curriculum from that course.
Parents and students both want to know what's next after completing our Coding Club. Tinker Crew provides 12 weeks of student-led sessions that allow learners to dive deeper into their chosen interest of coding topics and practices like programming, robotics, game design, and more.
For a one-time fee, students will gain access to the Tinker Crew for the entire semester and receive a t-shirt to wear on Tuesdays when the Crew is in session!
What Students Learn
Tinker Crew is more exploratory than our individual classes and clubs as students are given more space to ask questions and try new things. Students are encouraged to make unique learning choices while developing their computer science and programming skills.
What Parents Gain
We all want our kids to find their passion or engage in activities that stimulate their love of learning. Parents will see their children learn problem-solving techniques, foster a drive to try something new, and gain knowledge about coding and technology that can assist them in the future.
Schedule
We'll meet weekly on Tuedays from 7:00-8:00 p.m. during the semester.
Our 12 sessions will run from August 19th to November 11th. If needed, November 18th will be used as a makeup date. There will be a break based on local school schedules. *Class will NOT meet on Ocotber 7th!
