| Recommendation | 2-day workshops on Nov 25-26 (Monday & Tuesday) |
| Level 1: 3rd graders to adults | Enjoyable Intro to Programming using Logo & Scratch |
| Level 2 : Middle Schoolers to adults (younger Level 1 graduates OK too) |
Enjoyable intro to Programming using Alice (Animations) |
| Level 2 : Middle Schoolers to adults (younger Level 1 graduates OK too) – complete Alice workshop first! |
Enjoyable intro to Programming using JavaScript (Drawings) |
| Level 3 : Level 2 graduates | Intro to Programming in Java |
Level 1 workshop will run 10am-3pm and other workshops will run 10am to 4pm, but the students can arrive as early as 9am and leave as late as 5pm. Students are required to bring laptop if attending the workshops @ IBM. Lunch provided from 12 noon to 1pm and snacks provided around 3pm as well.
Note from UTD: We encourage every one (3rd graders to adults) to start at level 1 and climb up! Focus on the journey instead of speeding towards the destination!! However, we do come across middle/high school students who are paranoid about sitting with 3rd graders and want to progress faster. They can start at level 2 with Alice workshop.
Registration information is available here.
