Hope IT had a good summer break in July, and is ready again to offer courses on Saturday morning for students that usually do not get many opportunities. We are beginning to reach out to our partners to find student interest.
Below is the schedule of Hope IT courses for this school year. There is no charge for these courses. Students that sign-up have to come from one of our partners.
| Month | Description |
|---|---|
| September | Flask: Hope IT is offering a new Intermediate course. This is on Flask, which connects many tools together, like websites, Python programming, databases, and code running on multiple computers. And we may use some AI to generate some code. Students will begin to see how large applications are built in this course. |
| October | AI and Aliens: AI is part of our lives now. We will review what AI is…hint: they are not human…very alien to us humans. We will cover how best to use AI, how it works, and other impactful questions. |
| February | WordPress (online): Create a website with no programming. Add pictures, videos, links, and a blog. (See the picture above as an example). This course can lead into a paid internship for one or more Hope IT students. |
| June | Solving Mazes with Python programming: Python is one of the most widely used programming languages for so many uses. Learn some of the basics, while having fun making a virtual robot get out of a maze. |
Please pray for students to take the Hope IT courses. Many times, we see students not take the opportunities in front of them. They can do this. Please also pray for our partners, as they meet daily challenges, and touch so many students and families.
God bless
Peace,
