About
What?
Algorithmic Adventures is a coding class series geared towards middle school-aged kids and adults who like mathematics and have any level of prior coding experience, including complete beginners.
The classes are designed to teach essential algorithmic concepts along with the mathematical and theoretical principles behind them in order to give students a solid understanding of what they are doing and a full appreciation for what they are learning.Â
We will be working in the popular programming language, Python.
Students will need to bring their own laptop computers (PC or Mac).
When?
There will be four two-week sessions this summer. Dates listed below.
Classes will be held Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, with options for youth (middle school and up) from 3PM to 5PM and adults from 6PM to 8PM. The full schedule will be released soon.
Where?
The classes will be held at the Homewood-Brushton Branch of the YMCA and at the Squirrel Hill JCC in Pittsburgh.
Price
$450 per session.
