Give Back and Get Coding on a Day Off From School

This January 18th, join TCS for a special one-day virtual coding event in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Coders will embark on cool STEM explorations and coding challenges as well as games, activities, and more. And in honor of the holiday, we’ve planned something special.

Every camper who has a plan in place to do an act of service by the start of camp on January 18th will receive a $10 credit towards a future class or camp. Just reply to your registration confirmation email with a description of what your child will do to help someone else and the credit will be applied to your account.

To learn more about this important event, the inspiration behind it, and for ideas on how your child can give back, visit our blog.
