Create with ChatGPT 1
Whoever can master AI tools such as ChatGPT will be in a more advantageous position to succeed. So, what Is ChatGPT? To put it in the simplest form, ChatGPT is an AI product that you can converse with and ask an incredibly wide range of questions from how to cook pasta to solving calculus problems, and a whole lot more. It is so intelligent that it can pass Google Interviews, AP tests, and Bar exams just to name a few examples. With the right guidance, ChatGPT can be one of the best learning resources for students. It can also help them develop critical thinking, executive functions, and creativity. In this fun and informative course, students will start to learn how to use ChatGPT more effectively, understand its strengths and weaknesses, and develop important skills to master this very valuable tool.

Beginner Roblox Coding 1, 2 & 3
This program requires a familiarity of fundamental coding concepts, such as Scratch. We will introduce the basics in session 1 of Roblox coding while building fun games. Students will learn how to code with Lua, and apply conditional, loops, and variable concepts. Session 2 will continue to grow with the lessons learned in session 1. We will teach the students how to build multi-player games so they can invite their friends to play games together. Session 3 students will learn to create a little economy in your games by collecting goodies off a conveyor belt, earning coins, and exchanging for droppers and treasures. Along with learning multiplayer games where players can interact with in-game characters. Class is 12 weeks.
