University of Michigan Summer 2021 Program - The Joy of Coding

Using Python, course students will learn how coding powers apps such as Snapchat, TikTok, Instagram, and Siri, and even learn how to code their own versions of Snapchat lenses.

 The course includes weekly video lectures, reading, and coding assignments. 

Students will: 

  • Learn to code at their own pace w/ support from Michigan ECE faculty & students 
  • Receive a certificate of accomplishment to include in college apps
  • Have our commitment to help you get unstuck when learning to code

Prerequisites

  • High school algebra
  • Knowledge of function notation (for example, what does y = f(x) = cos(x), or, z = g(x,y) = cos(x) + sin(y) mean?)
  • Desire to learn and willingness to reach out for help when stuck (because everyone gets stuck somewhere!)
  • 4 – 6 hours per week to commit to the course
