Introduction to Coding
[Beginner Level] No prior knowledge needed.
Our curriculum focuses on the fundamental concepts behind coding. We include higher-level computation problems due to the stronger mathematical foundation in this age group.
Main Takeaway
- Fundamental concepts
- Basic C coding
- Build problem-solving skills with problem archive Kattis
- Higher-level algorithm thinking
We will be using a free online compiler to do hands-on coding
