Many high school computer science classes are large group classes with absolute beginners mixed in with students who have been coding for 10 years.
Whether you want some basic background in coding before you take a graded computer science class, or if you want to independent study for the AP Computer Science A exam, Penguin Coding School offers lessons in Java that fits your level.
We also offer 1-1 mentorship for students who want to build a coding project portfolio for valuable computer science or STEM related internships and scholarships at MIT and other top rated institutions.
Selected finalists have weekly mentorship meetings with THINK team members for technical guidance, helpful resources, and updates on the projects progress and are given up to $1,000 in funding for their project. Additionally, if permitting, finalists are invited to a four-day all-expenses paid trip to MIT's campus, where they tour labs, present their research to MIT students and faculty, and hang out with members of the THINK team.
Learn how to use technology like mobile apps and AI to solve a community problem YOU care about. You'll work as part of a team of girls like you and get support from a mentor who will help keep you motivated and on track.
Python for Teens
Open to anyone over 13 years old, we teach the basics of coding using Python, which is the language of choice for beginners to professional data scientists. Python is easy to get started, but is widely applicable to various fields. Anyone interested in the sciences (e.g. biology, chemistry, engineering, physics, neuroscience) and social sciences (i.e. economics, politics, psychology) will find wide applicability of this versatile language.
