From students and parents...
Teachers challenge the kids with questions and small projects instead of giving them the code straight. This makes the class more interactive - Parent It was super nice to have 2 floating TA's who can answer our questions quickly. I esp liked the cold calling techniques of the lead instructor - Student Great way to get kids started in programming. It is taught by awesome high school kids who can better relate to the younger students. It is also free !

MathandCoding delivers positive and consistent instruction in coding for the young student. The teen instructors are real go-getters with enthusiasm to spare. The kids that take their coding classes come away with lot of coding knowledge. I highly recommend mathandcoding! Leslie Tanaka-Loza, Bascom Library The instructors did an excellent job, were very prepared and organized. Their patience with the kids was wonderful to see. At the end of the final session, each child presented the game she/he had designed over the course of the month. Every child was proud of their game and demonstrated that they had understood the basic concepts. Great program!! - Susan Kaplan, Sunnyvale Library |
MathAndCoding team is very thorough and professional in their approach to teaching coding. They come in thoroughly prepared and are clearly experienced. Their teaching approach relies both on providing the basics in coding and then allowing students sufficient room to experiment and learn. I was very pleased at the level of communication and support I received from them as we prepared for the class. The patrons at the library are asking for more classes taught by them. Additionally, I am also impressed in how they involve the local community in the work they do both in attracting additional tutors and in attracting new patrons to the library with their classes. - Don Philips, Librarian, Milpitas Library The program was thoroughly planned and executed. It was well received by the library patrons. - Campbell Library |
