Hello World had an incredible first semester this Fall 2018, and given the great response we've received from students and families on the program, they will be returning again this Spring 2019! Hello World is an after-school computer science / coding program comprised of engineers from companies including Amazon, Apple, and Facebook. All courses are taught by professional software engineers, AI architects, and data scientists and are modeled after college computer science courses, particularly those at Rice University, a partnering institution.
To learn more about the Spring 2019 program, join Hello World for their Open House + Family Orientation taking place next week on Wednesday, December 5th @ 3:45pm OR 5:00pm (choose one option) at O. Henry Middle School in the school library.
The Spring 2019 program is centered around two computer science subjects for all students – Game Engineering, which will be taught by professional game developers, and Web Development, which will be taught by professional full-stack web developers (see details on course offerings here). Students will be building real games and publishing websites and because all course materials mirror industry standards, students can continue to build their knowledge after the semester program ends. Hello World courses cover various major programming languages (HTML/CSS/JavaScript, C#, C/C++, Java, Python, and Swift) which are scoped out in 15 levels of achievement across all programming languages, starting with Level 1 (beginner) up to what is called Acumen (Level 15), which is equivalent to taking several graduate-level courses in that programming language. The program is open to all levels, including beginners, and students will be placed in levels based on previous exposure to coding / computer science concepts.
We strongly encourage girls to join the program - early exposure to computer science and engineering concepts improves confidence in the field and significantly increases students' likelihood of majoring in these subjects in college! Please reach out to molly@helloworldstudio.org with any questions.
