Computer science class from Dr. Li
Class Design
Good education is about cultivating kids' ability to think independently and solve problems independently. This class uses fun and challenging games to teach kids the fundamentals of computer science. Subject covered includes,
- How computer works
- Loop
- Condition
- Procedures
- Overloading
At the start of each class, instructor first use easy to understand examples to illustrate complex computer science concepts. Instructor then demonstrates the new concept with a game. Students then think and practice by completing another game. The game we use is NOT Scratch. Another game designed for practicing computer algorithm logics is used.
Key Difference
- We emphasize independent problem solving skills
- We deliver knowledge and training using fun and challenging games
- Algorithmic way of thinking matters most
