As part of our virtual programs for teens, together with Google Canada we are inviting teens from the military community to join us for a series of coding classes designed to empower students and create opportunities to build their social capital.
Discover the art of creating music with code using EarSketch in BreakBeatCode! Whether you're a beginner or experienced, this program is designed for all levels. BreakBeatCode empowers future leaders to code, collaborate, and unleash their creativity as artist engineers, opening doors to endless possibilities.
