Our learning experiences are much more than learning how to code. Our experiences empower teens to learn problem solving skills, how to turn ideas into reality, exposure to what a future in technology could look like, and much more.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Teachers Learning Code<\/strong><br \/>\nOur Teachers Learning Code program has been designed for primary and middle school teachers with little to no coding experience to be able to teach coding fundamentals to their students. We offer various learning experiences such as workshops and meetups that provide educators with guides, training, and lesson planning tools to help them introduce code and computational thinking to their students.<\/p>\n<h3>Experiences<\/h3>\n<p>We recruit instructors for each of our Programs above. Each experience is different and requires tailored instructor training through our online platform.<\/p>\n<table class=\"c29\">\n<tbody>\n<tr class=\"c19\">\n<td class=\"c7\" colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\">\n<h3 class=\"c0\"><span class=\"c4\">Workshops<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"c24\" colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\">Workshops are the most frequently offered experience under all of our programs. They range between 3 and 6 hours and provide learners with a beginner introduction to one subject built around one hands-on project. E.g. How to build a one-page website with HTML &amp; CSS or Game Making with Scratch. Workshops are usually led by one or two instructors, and mentors at a ratio of 4 students:1 mentor.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"c19\">\n<td class=\"c7\" colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\">\n<h3 class=\"c0\"><span class=\"c4\">Meetups<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"c24\" colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"c0\"><span class=\"c1\">Meetups are more casual than workshops and take a variety of forms. They usually don\u2019t last longer than 3 hours and they enable learners to more casually engage with interesting subjects related to tech and code. A meetup could be a short 1 hr presentation by an instructor or a special guest, a panel discussion on a subject, or simply an open hack time event where learners can come together to code on their own projects with the support of mentors. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c3\">\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"c19\">\n<td class=\"c7\" colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\">\n<h3 class=\"c0\"><span class=\"c4\">Tech Days<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"c24\" colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"c0\"><span class=\"c1\">Tech Days are only for Kids Learning Code and Girls Learning Code. Tech Days are full days where youth get to explore a variety of technologies in a series of stations they rotate through. One station will always be an in-class mini workshop to create something with code, and then they will rotate through other stations exploring hardware, circuitry, and unplugged activities. In the afternoon learners get to go on an excursion to visit interesting tech companies in the neighbourhood. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c3\">\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"c19\">\n<td class=\"c7\" colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\">\n<h3 class=\"c0\"><span class=\"c4\">Camps<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"c24\" colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"c0\"><span class=\"c1\">Camps are only for Kids Learning Code and Girls Learning Code. Taking place during the March Break and throughout the summer, camps invite youth learners to join us for a week-long learning experience built around one overarching theme. E.g. Design Camp, Entrepreneurship Camp, Game Making Camp.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c3\">\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"c19\">\n<td class=\"c7\" colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\">\n<h3 class=\"c0\"><span class=\"c4\">Courses<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"c24\" colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"c0\"><span class=\"c1\">Courses are only offered for Ladies Learning Code. Courses are several weeks long and enable students to gain an introduction to a collection of subjects, building on their knowledge from week to week to gain a better overall set of digital skills. E.g. Digital Skills for Beginners which offers a 7 week beginner introduction to front-end development that covers HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and WordPress<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c3\">\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"c19\">\n<td class=\"c7\" colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\">\n<h3 class=\"c0\"><span class=\"c4\">Teen Club <\/span><\/h3>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"c24\" colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"c0\"><span class=\"c1\">Teen Club is an ongoing year-long experience offered to Teens Learning Code learners that enables teen girls to attend monthly sessions that combine a variety of experiences. For example, one month the teens might attend to complete an HTML workshop, and another week they will attend a tech event in the community accompanied by the Club facilitator and their Club peers. This program includes hackathons and special excursions for learners to gain practical coding skills as well as a broad understanding of the tech industry at large and their place within it. Teens are encouraged to be critical thinkers and gain an understanding of their own opportunities and ability to influence change with tech. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c3\">\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h3>Content<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-222 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/www.canadalearningcode.ca\/training\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/image2-300x270.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"270\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.canadalearningcode.ca\/training\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/image2-300x270.png 300w, http:\/\/www.canadalearningcode.ca\/training\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/image2-768x691.png 768w, http:\/\/www.canadalearningcode.ca\/training\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/image2-1024x922.png 1024w, http:\/\/www.canadalearningcode.ca\/training\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/image2-624x562.png 624w, http:\/\/www.canadalearningcode.ca\/training\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/image2-100x90.png 100w, http:\/\/www.canadalearningcode.ca\/training\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/image2.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>From Ruby and Python to Game-making and Digital Art, we teach an array of digital literacy skills &#8211; and our content reflects this.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Programs Canada Learning Code runs 5 different Programs with unique Experiences within them.
