NJIT Hosts Newark Kids Code Showcase Dec. 12

Fresh off the heels of an intensive 10-week course, a group of youngsters have earned their coding stripes and will present the fruits of their labor at the Newark Kids Code showcase hosted at NJIT Dec. 12 at 10 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. in the Campus Center Ballroom.

Sponsored by The Urban League of Essex County, Newark Kids Code is an educational initiative designed to introduce technologically disadvantaged and underrepresented youth to programming, coding and other digital and computer technologies.

Newark students learn how to code and think big

Keyon Vassell didn't want to give up any of his Saturday, let alone eight hours of it. He's a typical 13-year-old, who would rather relax and enjoy some downtime after a week of school.

But his mother, Kiyonna Thomas,  says his eyes  lit up when he brought home a flyer about a digital coding program from Newark's North Star Academy Middle School, where he's an eighth-grader.

District and Charter School Students Come Together to Learn Coding

A Newark coding program has been bringing together children from a district school and a charter school every weekend this fall, with instructors from a local college, to teach Newark students important 21st Century technology skills. 

Sponsored by the Urban League of Essex County, the all-day classes are held every Saturday at at North Star Academy Charter School in the Fairmount neighborhood. The students attend North Star and Thirteenth Avenue School, a district school just a few blocks away.
