Digital Literacy

The digital literacy portion of our program is designed to be for students with no experience in coding. Introducing kids to programming at a young age helps to promote interest now and further into the future. Python coding, which we primarily teach, yields importance on numerous occasions, including building websites and software along with data science. Additionally, with the growing use of AI, the significance of proficiency in coding has increased rapidly within the job market.
