Education Management - Manhattan Beach, California, United States
ABOUT USSigmaCoding.org was founded by Jeff and Codi Miller in 2019. Despite the massive workforce demand for coding experience, computer science, engineering, and applied physical science are not courses traditionally taught in K12 curriculum. Noticing this educational disparity, Jeff and Codi explored ways to help young people acquire STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) skills. They found that families seeking STEM courses encountered two major obstacles: outrageous pricing and a focus on exposure rather than retention programs. Thus, SigmaCoding.org was founded with a mission to empower students to succeed tomorrow by integrating technology into education today. Ideally, SigmaCoding.org helps participants develop confidence in their individual computer science ability by providing affordable year-round STEM courses. The Millers believe that exposing children to more accessible STEM education will foster innovation and bring technological solutions to demographics that may not yet be serviced.OUR CLASSESStudents are able to explore topics not typically covered in traditional K12 curricula, including computer science, programming, web development, mobile app creation, and robotics. Studies have shown that students who are exposed to computer science and engineering fields at a young age are more likely to excel in academic fields such as science and mathematics. The goal of our courses is to expose students to a wide variety of STEM topics so that they can compete in an increasingly technological world. SigmaCoding.org classes are not designed to convince students to major in STEM fields when they reach college, but rather to provide enough exposure so that they may make an informed decision about the field they wish to pursue.
