Summer Computer Science @ Think Space Studio
Our coding classes for middle and high school students provide an academically rich, creative experience where students build colorful, animated, and playable projects.
We teach the basic building blocks of computer programming from the ground up, using real-world programming languages like Java, JavaScript, and HTML/CSS. Along the way, we invariably touch on general Computer Science concepts like binary numbers, coding style, computer architecture, data structures, algorithms, and more.
Build a strong computer science foundation this summer!
