Coding Basics
This class is a fun introduction to computers and coding! Students will learn about what a computer is, and how to write programs. Using the incredible BBC micro:bit the students will be able to directly interact with their programs. Using the free and easy to code visual programming language Microsoft Makecode students of all ages can learn to code and share what they have learned. Students will learn about variables, loops, conditionals, and other fundamentals that establish a strong foundation for computer programming while having a lot of fun.
Coding Basics - Level 2
Coding Basics - Level 2 is a continuation of the Coding Basics course. It is great for kids who have completed the Coding Basics - Level 1, or students who already have experience with coding. A basic understanding of variables, conditionals, loops, and functions will help a student be prepared for this class. The level 2 course has a rotating selection of topics, 2 of which are taught each semester. This allows a student to stay registered for the level 2 for severl classes before they have learned all of the content. This is a fun course that includes robotics, intro to game development, LED lights, an intro to the Python programming language, and much more.
Programming in Python
Come and learn how to program using the wonderful Python programming language. Python is easy to read and easy to write which makes it a perfect choice for beginner programmers. Python is one of the most popular programming languages in the world and is used in many ways, such as website development, scientific research, robotics, and even aboard the Mars helicopter Ingenuity. Students will learn core programming concepts as well as learn how to draw with Python.

About
Escape velocity (noun):
the minimum velocity that a moving body (such as a rocket) must have to escape from the gravitational field of a celestial body (such as the earth) and move outward into space
What is Escape Velocity Coding?
Escape Velocity Coding is coding and technology education which empowers with knoweldge, inspiration, and skills to blast off and achieve great things with technology. We have a strong emphases of fun, hands-on, engaging project that help the students learn the concepts that are taught. We believe that by knowing how technology works, that we can use it to make the world a better place for us, our families, and the world. It is unlocking the imagination and the excitement about the good that technology can acheive when we know how to use it.
Who am I?
My name is Adam Lee, I’ve been a professional software developer since 2015, and I love space and technology since I was a kid. I had many amazing experiences with computers and tech that have stuck with me throughout my life. They were experiences with science, tech, and computers that were fun, engaging, and opened up my imagination to science and technology.
When I was in college I was initially pursuing a medical path, but then my plans changed. I remembered all the experiences with science and technology that I had as a kid. Those experiences helped me make the choice to change my plans and become a programmer.
I hope to help kids of all ages to have experiences with science and technology like I did that will capture their imagination and give them skills that they can use in the future.
