Anyone Can Code is my name for this new initiative to bring programming to
children who would love programming, but have never had the chance to
really explore it. The class will be laser-focused on effectively learning
computer programming, for a student who has never really tried it before.
At the end of the class, my students will have…
• An understanding of computer architecture
• Useful computer skills, including knowledge of websites and blogs
• Creative programming abilities, with an introduction to Java and Python
• Their own programming project they can include in their portfolio
• Their own Google Gadget of which they can be proud
No prior programming knowledge is expected. However, students must be
very fluent in English and have extensive experience with using a mouse
and keyboard. My goals are ambitious, and we’ll cover as much as we can
