Hey parents, love our school? Give us a review!
I like to say that engineering is equal parts art and science. And like any art form, there's always more to learn, more to do, more to see, and more to make. Modern computers are nothing short of masterpieces. They put rockets on the moon and rovers on mars. They place machines in our pockets that instantly connect to the single largest collection of information in human history — the internet. They are found on our desks, and in our cars, and even in our toasters now. They are integral to our society and yet only a few ever get to know how they actually work. I have spent the last decade creating chips, writing software, designing anything and everything and not a day goes by where I regret any second of it. Engineering and computer science are the foundation of not only my career but of my life and I encourage anyone and everyone: try it. Because that was the single best decision of my life. Feel free to contact me at zach@thecoderschool.com.
Hey there everyone! My name is John and I am the Technical Coordinator of theCoderSchool in San Mateo. I hail from an educational background with experience in tutoring and instructing others from a variety of age ranges. Originally, with a Mathematics background, I achieved a B.S. in Computer Science with a Minor in Mathematics. I seek to inspire, empower and motivate those who seek knowledge. Initially, I was not a strong programmer or knowledgeable in computer science, so I personally understand how frustrating it is to begin a journey into Software Engineering. Eventually with enough hard work and determination, I am now able to make web applications capable of being launched into production and tell you some of the niddy-gritty details of certain data structures and algorithms, even some of the math behind them. So I make it my personal mission to assist others in their quest to become full-fledged programmers. Even hopefully; future Computer Scientist and Software Engineers. Feel free to contact me with any questions or just to chat at john.sanjose@thecoderschool.com.
Hey everyone! My name is Cinthia and I’m the Senior Coordinator at theCoderSchool San Mateo. A little about me- I speak English and Spanish fluently and attended CSM as well as a program here in San Mateo towards an AS degree to become an MRI tech. I grew up in Silicon Valley in the 2000’s so obviously technology had a huge impact on everyone’s lives- I was lucky enough to know how to edit my Myspace profile at the age of 7 with some basic copying & pasting which I later found out was a form of coding. I look forward to working with your children and hope to contribute to their success especially now that the pandemic has shown us how important technology and coding is and how it will impact your children’s futures. Feel free to contact me with any questions at cinthia@thecoderschool.com.
We're always looking for great Code Coaches. Shoot us an email with resumé to see if we're a fit!
As you and your family consider coding programs, it helps to keep in mind:
Whether the student wants to explore Minecraft modding in Minecraft camp, is interested in HTML, or wants to learn block-based coding like CSS, our interactive classes provide a great coding experience.
theCoderSchool in San Mateo is now proudly announcing code class openings for Python Object Oriented Programming and Game Development. This class is meant for intermediate level coders. We go in depth, learning object oriented programming while also learning the basics of python. Using object oriented programming through Python, students will implement game applications that are text-based as well as graphical 2D type games utilizing pixelpad and pygame.
theCoderSchool in San Mateo is now proudly announcing code class openings for Programming Basics and Game Development with Scratch! This class is meant for beginner level coders. Here we explore the world of Scratch and develop games using block code. In this class, students will learn the fundamentals of programming such as; control structures, variables, etc. They will also be exposed to key concepts such as; collision detection and basic AI behaviors.
theCoderSchool in San Mateo is now proudly announcing code class openings for Robotics w/ Arduino and Raspberry Pi! This class welcomes intermediate level coders who are interested in Robotics. Here we use C/C++ to control micro-controllers which is one of the main components used in the field of Robotics. In this class, students will also learn the fundamentals of programming micro-controllers which make use of servos, sensors, etc.
