Throughout June, AIM’s College and Tech Access program hosted 17 middle and high school students from Omaha and Council Bluffs school districts to participate in the Google Code Next Summer Academy.
Students were able to engage in an intensive learning program focused on front-end programming skills including HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. This group of students submitted final projects featuring their own e-commerce websites. The websites are impressive with multiple built-out tabs, links, and other design features.
AIM has completed year two of a three-year grant funded by Google, which brings front-end coding skills to the fingertips of college-bound students. The curriculum is fully developed by Google Programmers, called Googlers. Students were able to interact with local Google employees throughout the duration of the Summer Academy held at AIM.
