Students can work on their own to make up missed days
If they have questions they can always reach out directly to me
Why learn to program?
The Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that employment for software developer will grow more than 31% in the next 10 years

What’s up with the name?
A “script kiddie” refers to someone who lacks the expertise to write their own code and essentially fakes expertise with computers
The exclamation mark in languages like Java denote logical negation (that students will get to learn more about in the camp)
Thus, the goal of this camp is to make sure that students don’t end up as “script kiddies” since they’ll have begun to master actual programming techniques and languages
