You don’t have to be a teacher, public presenter, or computer science
graduate, because you can learn from other volunteers. Our team of
instructors has created an exciting and different curriculum for kids
4th-8th grade that includes creating games using MIT’s “Scratch” software
and learning binary on the very first day of class.
This 6-week course strives to show computers as tools for creating and learning. We also pass on important qualities including online responsibility and respect, communication, problem solving, critical thinking and community awareness.
We have Tuesday evening classes from 6:00 – 7:30, and Saturday classes from 11:00 to 12:30 and 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.
Join us for Instructor Orientation at 6:30 p.m. on Monday, February 6th
to learn more about the Bworks programs, see our new building in Soulard
and meet other instructors.
