Class

Panda Programmer’s premier introductory programming classes and camps are a great way for children ages 6 and above  to learn the basics of computer programming. There is no prerequisite- Students are taught how to create customized animations, control structures, basic graphic editing, and the tools needed to create their own customized games and educational projects.

Computer class at Panda Programmer takes place in many forms.  We offer camps, weekend classes, and in-school after-school programs.  But in all of these formats we use the same curriculum. 

Summer Camps

Panda Programmer offers in-person and online summer camps.  Our camps are fun, interactive and highly educational!  Online summer camps (featured in 2020 and 2021) are a safe environment for kids to learn about computers.  They learn at home!

Our traditional in-person summer camps have been popular in Montgomery county for years.  When possible, we offer foreign language and music lessons as part of our camp.  No extra charge!  Campers learn about computer programming by doing computer programming.  And we take lots of breaks to let the campers get outside and run around.  And breathe fresh air.  🙂  

Also importantly, campers don’t lose progress from their previous Panda Programmer camps and lessons.  They pick up their studies from where they left off.  

Weekend Class

Panda Programmer teaches class on the weekends.  Our most popular session is held Sunday mornings from 10am to noon.  Our classroom is in the Kentlands neighborhood of Gaithersburg.  Beginner, intermediate, and advanced programmers are welcome.  Our unique curriculum allows students to progress at the rate that’s best for them.  

Also importantly, students don’t lose progress from their previous Panda Programmer camps and instruction.  They pick up their studies from where they left off.  

In-School After-School Class

For years Panda Programmer has taught class in elementary and middle schools.  When most of the students go home, Panda Programmer students stay at their school for our class.  In-School after-school class is very convenient for parents, as they do not have to make an extra trip to school to pick up their children.  Best of all, we offer a sibling discount!

Also importantly, students don’t lose progress from their previous Panda Programmer camps and lessons.  It doesn’t matter how long of a break they may have taken.  They pick up their studies from where they left off.
