In this summer program for high school students, participants will learn Java, one of the most powerful and widely-used programming languages in the world. In fact, Java is the language most commonly emphasized by universities in their computer science programs.

This beginner course is tailored for individuals with little to no programming experience. Our instruction begins with the basics and quickly progresses to high-level programming topics such as object-oriented programming and recursion. By the end of the course, students will reinforce their learning by creating an original, portfolio-ready project using Java. Additionally, students will gain a head start in the AP Computer Science course, as our program covers all the topics tested in the AP Computer Science exam.

Age Requirement: The program is ideal for high school students (ages 13-18) with a strong interest in coding. Prior coding or programming experience is not required, but students should be comfortable with computer basics.
