APSU Junior Coders
APSU Jr. Coders is an outreach program of the CSIT department that teaches children computational thinking and the basic concepts of computer programming.
The APSU Junior Coders is a K-12 computer programming educational group. We offer summer camps and weekend classes throughout the school year. Our goal is to teach the fun and excitement of computer programming using free tools that are easily accessed on the internet.
