The goal of this coding pathway is to give students a real coding experience so they can make better decisions about their future. This accomplishes many things. First, lots of our youth want to become programmers or game developers without really knowing the kind of knowledge and dedication that takes. It’s an expensive test to have your first coding experience in college. Other students may want to own a business or work in technology but not necessarily write code every day. By knowing how to code they’ll understand the working flow of technology projects and improve their communication and understanding with other technology fields. Many students will find that they love to code and want to continue to pursue it. During this pathway, they will complete their own coding portfolio of their work. This will benefit them as they fill out applications for either college or internships. This pathway gives them enough coding experience to enter college-level courses confidently as they pursue their career.
