What People Say

Before this camp, I had tried out other coding camps, but none of them were great. Then I got an email from App Dev League. I hesitated to sign-up, but I eventually did and that was probably the best choice I have made coding-wise before this camp. I didn't know anything about code, but with this camp, I have learned more about coding in more than all of the other classes I have taken combined!! The greatest thing about this camp is that it is free!!! The instructors are great, and so on, there isn't much you could say is bad, so if you are reading this, you have to try out this camp.

I appreciate App Dev League in general because they offer such programs amid pandemic. Their mission is relevant to everyone, especially those who are anxious about what's happening in the world right now, that nothing can stop them from learning new things or mastering their skills. As a student, taking the time and making efforts are not a joke. They still manage to contribute to society regardless of their plans and time. I am very grateful for all the help. Thank you for such a wonderful contribution!

The App Dev League's "Learn to Code" workshop was a great experience! I have never coded before, and this was a great place to start! Our instructor gave very thorough and simple instructions to help out us beginners, but I still learned a lot. Overall, a very well run class, and I appreciate it!

App Dev League's Basic Web Dev course was awesome. I went into it trying to learn about how to make a website, and the teacher was awesome and walked us through each part of HTML, CSS, and Javascript, calmly and easily, making the class both fun and enriching!

04What
makes this program unique?
During this COVID pandemic, many free resources have been created to provide free CS education. However, most of these resources lack 1 v 1 oversight and beginner-friendly content. Our goal is to provide free education in not only an accessible but also interactive manner to underprivileged children.
