JA Community Coders® is a single session that enables early elementary school students to see the importance of digital skills and jobs in the community. This STEM-focused session also allows students to explore and apply the basics of computer programming by participating in a hands-on coding activity. This session was developed as part of the redeveloped JA Our Community® program.
