At Newton County Schools, we believe every student should have the chance to learn how to read and write code. That's why we've made it a priority to provide high-quality, inclusive learning opportunities for all students. One exciting result of that effort is the
C.O.D.E. 365 Coding Club, a hands-on, district-based program that lets students explore computer science in a fun and meaningful way.
C.O.D.E. 365 isn’t just about learning to code, it is about innovation. It takes our 3E approach that connects engagement, exposure, and experiences in computer science with reading, math, and real-world problem solving. The goal is to help students build confidence, sharpen their critical thinking skills, and prepare them for future academic and career success.
In
C.O.D.E. 365 students will:
- Understanding coding languages and logic
- Creating apps, animations, and digital art
- Reading stories and texts connected to computer science
Opportunities Include:
- Innovation Saturdays: Once each quarter, students can join half-day workshops where they dive into coding, game design, and tech-based creative projects in a relaxed and collaborative setting.
- Summer Coding Camps:
- EmpowHER Coding Camp: Designed just for students in grades 6-12, this camp builds confidence and helps students grow their skills in a supportive environment.
- Newton Kids Code Camp: Open to a wider age range, this camp offers a mix of fun, hands-on activities that introduce students to the world of coding.
Through C.O.D.E.365, we’re opening doors to new possibilities and helping every student discover their potential in the world of technology.
