The Tufts University College Pre-College team is currently seeking a Program Instructor for our 2-week coding program: our Coding Academy Summer Intensive, offered by Tufts' University College to rising High School juniors, seniors, and graduating seniors. Coding Academy will enable students to begin to master the skills necessary to build interactive applications (using Python) that solve real world problems, regardless of initial skill level. Coding Academy will offer two sections: Coding 101 and Coding 201. Students will have the opportunity to opt into Coding 201 prior to program start or after the first day if they have previous coding experience. The mornings will begin with lectures separated by section and afternoons will unite both sections for joint skills building workshops, TechTreks, and app development time. Students will have the opportunity to visit local tech companies ('Tech Treks'), supplementing in-class instruction and introducing students to the vast array of career paths available in the ever-expanding world of technology.
