Immersive (and mostly remote) Spring Break Coding Program

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Nothing to do over Spring Break and bored? Help a UC Berkeley startup test their platform! Join our immersive and mostly remote Spring Break Coding Program.

We’ve developed a week-long, immersive course for learning how to code and we’re testing an online format.

No previous experience is required! If you’re not from a technical background, don’t be intimidated – dive in and learn the basics with fellow Berkeley students.

Active Learning & Learning by Doing

It’s time to get your hands dirty and dig in to the technical world! Learning by doing is the best and most enjoyable way to learn how to code. Our immersive course is entirely hands-on learning, complete with projects, challenges, and exercises.

This is a high-participation course: you’ll work directly with fellow Bears, helping them and reviewing each other’s work. You’ll be immersed into the world of software and come out not just with technical skills, but with a better understanding of what’s behind the web.

Program Content

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

In the first couple of days, participants will familiarise themselves with software tools, the coding environment and computer terminal, and how to navigate basic commands and concepts. We have a built-in coding environment so you can code in your browser without having to download any tools or software.

Participants will be given projects and exercises in JavaScript.

What You’ll Learn

This course covers the following topics:

  • JavaScript
  • Data structures
  • Loop statements
  • Variables
  • Libraries
  • The tools and environments used by software engineers
  • Coding “norms” or standards for writing good code
  • Basic algorithms
  • How to structure your code
