PowerUp Tech Academy

As we start our 7th year of teaching computer science, it's so exciting to see how our long term students have grown up and are now pursuing advanced classes and using their knowledge to help others!

Wow! Where did summer go? Next week is our last week of camps!😮

Great first day at #CSTA2021! Got reacquainted with @MITAppInventor, took a spin with @BlocksCAD and learned about some very interesting AI projects from @ActuaCanada. A great way to refresh and grow!

Perhaps Snakes could code in Python as well :thinking:

🤣Our students are both creative and hilarious!🤣 The Website classes learned CSS gradients this week. One student showed off a very nice sunset. 🌅 Another made a gradient from #212121 to #212122. (dark gray to dark gray) 🧐

#MinecraftEDU using #Python. Cool example.

@PlayCraftLearn @pbeens It would be great if non-school educational organizations could use Minecraft.edu! We teach a ton of Coding and Minecraft but sadly can't get access.

@pbeens We're glad the session was helpful! Have you had the chance to give Python coding in Minecraft a try yet?

After working hard all year, spring is when we see how much our students have learned! There is so much confidence and independence in our coding classes right now. #coding #csed

#Coding is like a piñata. You keep banging away at a problem and it doesn't seem to crack. And then you see a little opening... and you work harder... and then all at once... it works!!!!!

Just wondering... how many parents send their kids to our classes hoping to train them for 24/7 on call tech support?
