Coding Fundamentals: Learn to Code from Scratch
Course overview
Learn to think programmatically (the quintessence of coding) to thrive in the digital age. Coding Fundamentals is our 6-week part-time introduction course on essential coding concepts. There are 12 sessions to discover, covering six technical concepts: variables, functions, conditionals, loops, arrays and hash tables, and version control.
We’ll build apps, learn coding fundamentals, and understand software engineering — all the building blocks that you’ll need to enter the tech space.
- Batch 22: starting 4 May '23
- Batch 23: starting 12 Jun '23

Syllabus | What you'll learn
Coding Fundamentals employs the flipped classroom model where you complete facilitated self-learning before class and engage in pair exercises during class. Fundamentals aims to introduce the elements of constructing a program and thinking about how it should work in a short (6 weeks, 12 lessons) amount of time.
This happens in a "sandbox" JavaScript environment meant to focus on the universal, fundamental concepts of programming, rather than being specific to the JavaScript language. Using project and mastery based learning it aims to incrementally level-up students' coding knowledge through fun game-based mini projects.
