Programming and Software Engineering Studio

This Studio is ideal if you have prior experience programming apps or even video games, and you want to enhance both your logic and coding skills. The Programming and Software Engineering Studio experience begins with the instructor assessing your knowledge and skills as well as discussing your programming interests. Perhaps you would like to try programming in a different language or would like to understand how to use pointers. Perhaps you would like to understand how to program a mobile app that tracks what you eat, or maybe you want to become more proficient with scripting a game engine like Unity. The instructor will then develop an individualized learning plan that takes into consideration the type of programming outcome you would like to focus on. Using an inquiry-based approach, the instructor will then facilitate your learning plan through a variety of challenges that will reinforce computer science knowledge and programming skills.
