The App Academy at Pasadena High School
In Pasadena High School’s App Academy, participants will learn to code (no prior experience required)! As participants learn to code in the program, they’ll create their own websites, games, applications, and more. Coding gives you the chance to express yourself and build creative, meaningful projects that are unique to each participant. The very first thing participants learn in App Academy is how to design their own website.
