The Coding for Social Change (CSC) program is a series of nine virtual workshops that run from 10-11:30 am every Saturday between Oct 2-Dec 4, 2021 (except for Oct 9). In this beginner-friendly workshop series, Grade 7-10 students will build an app using Thunkable, which is a drag-and-drop app builder. They will also plan their app design through creating paper prototypes, discuss issues related to ethical design of mobile apps, apply basic coding concepts, and communicate their project in a way that is accessible and meaningful to a general audience. All workshops will be offered virtually via Zoom.
