Hi Parents,
Does your children enjoy playing computer games? Would they enjoy learning how to create computer animation, games, music or art on the computer while they are learning programming concept at the same time? What about learning how to program the computer to move a Lego WeDo motor or interface with hardware senors?
As a homeschool mom and one that worked in the computer industry for many years. I am excited to tell you about my "Programming 4 Fun" class. With the advancement of technology, learning programming is no longer a boring task. In this class, students will be using a graphical user interface, a lot of drag and drop building blocks, it looks more like playing an interactive game instead of programming. But I can assure you that while students are having fun creating their project, they are using very structural, logical steps to implement the result they wanted on screen or interact with hardware.
