What Do We Teach?
It’s actually really simple: We offer a practical application based curriculum in modularity. That means it’s easy for any student to join at any time. Or come back at anytime. At any point. In any grade. Our instructors and students are always ready to welcome a new student to the brilliant Heart of Code family.
Students start and learn a new unit every 2-3 months during their classes, and because modularity works so well with our Learning Optimization Software, we can introduce concepts that matter the most, when they matter the most to prepare our students to compete globally. Some of these concepts include:
- Competitive Programming and Computational Mathematics
- Web, App, and Game Development
- Machine Learning and AI
- Hacking and Cyber Security
- Robotics
