Does your child love making their own art? Are they obsessed with gaming? Give them the skills to design their own digital art and computer games!

JavaScript is the hidden language that makes the digital world more interesting; it makes your favourite websites interactive, enables online games to load smoothly, and is even a source of contemporary art. As such, in this course we delve deeper into this highly versatile coding language as students explore a programming 'library' called p5.js.

Our Intermediate JavaScript: Introduction to p5.js course combines text-based programming, innovative digital art projects, and game design to teach real-world skills… all through self expression and individual creativity! This course is ideal for any students who have a creative flair or an interest in gaming, as the focus on both of these industries gives plenty of opportunities for students to make and design tech associated with their hobby.

Across the week we introduce students to p5.js and demonstrate the awesome things you can do with this JavaScript library. From here students are given the freedom to interpret and utilise p5.js in their own way, as we set a number of different hands-on projects.

These class projects demonstrate the real-world applications of coding to students; whether it's creating a graffiti drawing app, their own version of the app 'Paint’, or their own JavaScript based game, students will come away with their own unique creations to show off to their friends and family! 🚀

Students should have some experience of text based coding - if they don't we would suggest attending one of our JavaScript for Beginners courses. Having completed this Intermediate level students will have gained key programming knowledge that they can use to progress onto our Advanced JavaScript courses.

If you are unsure about the suitability of this course for your child then please contact us - we'd be happy to help work out if it's the right fit.

FAQs:

My child is a beginner, is this course still suitable?

Yes! As long as your child is at least 10 years old, and has done a little bit of coding (for example, has done a bit of scratch at school), it is fine to join this course.
If your child is 8 or 9 years old and has done a lot of coding (at least a full year), it is also fine to join this course).
Is adult presence required?

We ask that a parent or an adult is present for at least the first 15 minutes of the first session to help the child set up. After that, the parent/adult does not need to stay, but we ask that they are nearby.
How do you ensure my child's safety in your online classrooms?

As part of our commitment to your child's safety, we have implemented the following measures to secure our online classrooms.
- All blue{shift} classes will have a meeting password. This will be communicated to you by our team.
- All our classrooms have implemented a waiting room feature. Teachers will only admit students to class who have booked a place on a course, and are on the class registers.
- All our blue{shift} teachers have enhanced DBS checks.
We rigorously vet our teachers and ensure their credentials as part of our recruitment process.
We will be constantly reviewing internet regulatory guidance over the coming days and weeks, and making any necessary changes to ensure that all our students have a safe experience!
