PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: Wayland High School sophomore, Andy Wang, is offering a free, 5-day computer science course for students in Grades 6-8, June 26-30, at Wayland High School. In this five-day, introductory course, students will learn universal programming concepts with Processing, a graphics-oriented version of Java. These basic topics include variables, logic statements, and loops, which students will apply through different mini-projects. At the end of the week, students will use what they’ve learned to create personal, original programs that can be anything from a game to a practical application. No prior experience is necessary.
Andy will be a junior at WHS and has been teaching computer skills to younger students for 3 years. He is volunteering to teach this class as part of his community service commitment at WHS. Andy can be reached by email (andy_wang@student.wayland.
