Coding 101: Code Crew for youth learners
Employers increasingly screen for a real, working portfolio, so Code Crew has every learner build something they can show off. Cadets (Grades 2–5) use Roblox Studio and visual scripting (Lua) to build one playable game across the semester. Commanders (Grade 6+) use MIT App Inventor to build a cumulative Android/iOS app, adding real features week over week toward a capstone they demo live.
Inside the program
What this program looks like
- Cadets: Roblox Studio with real event-driven logic (Lua)
- Commanders: MIT App Inventor — real Android/iOS apps
- One cumulative project built across the full semester
Outcomes
What learners take away
- A finished project to demo
- Real coding foundations, not just block sequencing
- A portfolio-ready build
