Students Can Build Skills for Tomorrow With JavaScript
JavaScript courses for kids teach coding skills that they can use throughout school and their chosen career. Whether they go into business, design mobile applications, or study robotics, JavaScript knowledge can come in handy. In addition, students learn valuable life skills that will benefit them at any age, whether they choose coding as a career or not.
JavaScript Courses for Ages 8-18
JavaScript is a great skill for kids at almost any age. With animations and user interactions, children can bring applications and websites to life while learning foundational coding concepts in a fun way. Kids can use these skills in computer science, mobile app development, or game programming. Explore the JavaScript classes for kids in our coding programs to learn more.
JavaScript Classes for Elementary School
Start your child on the right path with the power of strong computational thinking and problem-solving skills. Coding in elementary school helps young children build a solid foundation in programming. As they advance they will be building games and not just playing them.
Intro to Real World Programming
Kids will write their first lines of code in a very useful scripting language — JavaScript. In this class, your children will go from drag and drop to written programming and will start to get a sense for what real programmers are doing in design and development.
Fundamental Programming Concepts
Now that students have a good programming groundwork, they can get a better understanding of different programming conventions and standards while programming in JavaScript. They’ll learn how to code like a professional and properly write DRY code.
Students will make websites come to life by adding animations and interactions with JavaScript. In this class, students gain a deep understanding of JavaScript and start creating complex websites and applications.
JavaScript Classes for Middle School
Build your child’s JavaScript coding skills and self confidence in a fun, approachable way. Middle school students will learn to code with JavaScript by building interactive games and applications. They’ll be able to solve problems and develop analytical thinking as they advance.
Interactive Web with JavaScript
Adding on to their web development knowledge, students learn JavaScript to create stunning, dynamic websites. In this class, students learn about code logic and build responsive websites and applications.
Students will use new tools along with JavaScript such as jQuery, Ajax, flexbox, APIs, and more. In this class, your child will produce useful web applications as well as a portfolio-quality final project.
APIs allow different applications to interact and share all kinds of useful information. Students will learn about how to build more robust applications with third-party APIs and JavaScript promises.
JavaScript Classes for High School
Prepare your child for college and career by learning JavaScript. We teach JavaScript to high school students as they advance in web development and connect those front-end skills to back-end logic in Python.
Fundamentals of Web Development
Use all the tools needed to create all websites and web applications. In this class, kids learn HTML, CSS, and JavaScript by coding fun and interactive websites as well as having an in-depth discussion about the different tools and nuances that come with each language.
The UI is such a huge and important part of web and game development and can add to the user’s experience and drive behavior if done well. In this class, your child learns how to code responsive websites with JavaScript.
Using 3rd party APIs, kids can develop more robust applications and games. They’ll learn about applications with persistent data across sessions like usernames and passwords or high scores in games.
Skills Learned in JavaScript Coding Courses
Critical Thinking
At its core, critical thinking is the process of examining the information available and making a judgment based on what it tells you. That’s what coding with JavaScript, or any coding language, is all about. Critical thinking is required both to write code and to determine what code you need to create the elements you want.
Problem Solving
There are two main ways that kids learn problem solving skills through learning JavaScript. First, when they start a project, they need to determine what they ultimately want their code to do and if there are problems that their code can solve. Second, when actually writing code, even the most skilled programmer will run into code that doesn’t run correctly. Making code run correctly is all about problem solving and teaches kids how to attack problems in other parts of their lives.
Cross-Browser Coding
When building a website, it’s important that it is functional across multiple web browsers. Learning JavaScript, along with HTML and CSS, gives kids the skills to be able to build websites that both look the same and operate the same on the most commonly-used web browsers.
APIs
APIs are necessary to share data between a website or app and a user quickly and every major website today uses them. Just like JavaScript is integral to creating interactive websites, APIs are integral to building sites that can share data easily.
Client-Side Framework and Libraries
Professional programmers regularly utilize frameworks and libraries to produce websites with consistent code without having to write hundreds of lines of code from scratch. Kids who learn JavaScript can learn how to use these tools to create functional code more quickly.
96.6% of developers have at least an intermediate knowledge of JavaScript coding.
Bring applications to life with interactivity and dynamic content. JavaScript coding skills are critical for any developer and teach children to think programmatically.
