Middle-school students interested in trying coding have two more fall dates to check with Augusta University’s CodeHoppers program: Nov. 24 and Dec. 8.
The university’s Nov. 10 report says the after-school club welcomes boys and girls in grades six through eight, with no previous coding experience required. The program is offered through the Cyber Institute in AU’s School of Computer and Cyber Sciences.
Activities described in the report include coding, 3D printing and work with small computing devices and robots. University students help teach younger participants, giving the club a mentoring component as well as a chance to experiment with technology.
Parents are asked to stay with their children during sessions and are encouraged to participate. The report also says another program session is scheduled for spring 2027.
The program page also welcomes students in grades six through eight and says a parent or guardian must remain throughout the session.
CodeHoppers lists codehoppers@augusta.edu and 706-721-1001 for questions. Ask staff to confirm whether a place is available, the meeting time and the location before attending.
