Pathways for Exceptional Children offers programs in computer science for children of all abilities!  We offer 12 classes that continue to elevate a child’s skill level from children in Block Coding, Python, and Java. Children as young as second grade can begin to build programming skills by learning how to block code to make fun video games. From there they can progress to 3 levels of Python and 8 levels Java!  The classes are designed to be motivating and to keep children progressing in their skills and creativity! If your child likes Legos and wants to create robots, Pathways offers Lego WeDo 2.0 Robotics for children in Kindergarten to 2nd grades and EV3 Lego Robotics for children 3-5th grades.  The children get to create and design robots using Legos. They then program the robots using computer to move and perform fun tasks. The computers talk to the robots via blue tooth!
