Do you have a passion for helping disadvantaged youth and possess coding expertise? If so, we are looking for an enthusiastic, patient, and tech savvy volunteer to lead an Apple iPad coding program for youth.
The program could be a one off program, or an ongoing series.
We are open on the app/program, so long as the coding class uses an iPad for instruction. The volunteer coding instructor would put together the curriculum; however, there are a wide array of free instructional materials available online. Teens must be at 15+ years of age and volunteers age 18 years and older require fingerprinting (done at the city's expense) AND the adult volunteer would need to reside near San Jose, CA in order to get fingerprinted.
We are open on the type of program, however, some of the suggested programs include any of the following:
- Swift Playgrounds
- Sphero Edu
- FlipaClip
- Stop Motion
- Sketches
- Garageband
