Our Proprietary In-Browser Coding Platform.

The KTBYTE team developed the KTCoder™ with our students in mind! Most coding classes require software downloads, which is difficult and a hassle for young students. Our platform supports Processing (Java), Python, C++, KTBlocks, HTML/CSS, and a bunch of libraries (like Soundcipher and Fisica!). This revolutionary all-in-one coding platform supports our interactive online classes, our specialized curriculum, and (most importantly) our student's passion for learning.

Office hours are led by our highly qualified teaching assistants. It is an easy and free way to get immediate feedback on your code. Our homework is difficult - office hours can help you overcome obstacles and develop a stronger understanding of the material!

We provide pre-recorded Audio Lectures to allow for students to self-study, practice, and learn CS.

We provide an online, interactive, Java & Algorithms textbook to allow for students to self-study, practice, and learn CS.

We provide recordings of our classes for if a student misses or needs to re-listen to a class.

The parent account dashboard allows for parents to track their student's progress in the class.

Class Description:

[CORE 4b] teaches computer science through Java in a lecture format, including notes on new concepts and demo projects. Students practice their skills in graded problem sets and many find it beneficial to attend homework help sessions to cement their skills. After this class most students are ready for our college-paced coursework.

Prerequisites:

[CORE 4a] or permission of instructor.

Sample Projects

These are examples of projects that students create as they grow their skills in [CORE 4b]

Falling Words: This is a word salad. A paragraph is sliced up, and the words are released down.

Pop Art: This artwork is inspired by Andy Warhol. A filter is added to the image to have different background and foreground colors.

Donut Spin: Demo of the topic coordinate transformation = translate (moving x,y,z), rotate, and scale.

Cannonball Demo: This is a physics simulation that calculates the trajectory to create the arc.

Heart Bounce: This is a physics demo of gravity and bounce. If the broken hearts are close together they converge and become one.

Space Shooting Game: Explore the ArrayLists data structure to store and display enemies and projectiles.
