Code the Dream School Pre-Work

In addition to some initial preparatory work, this pre-work takes you through a Javascript tutorial with Khan Academy. You will use the skills you learn to then do your own short coding project. You will be asked to demonstrate understanding of basic programming concepts like variables, functions, arrays, and objects. Each numbered item in the pre-work corresponds to a question on the assessment. You may want to write all your answers in a Word or Google Doc before copying them into the form, since you cannot save your form and go back to it.

The Javascript tutorial will take many hours to go through, and you will be submitting a code sample at the end. This is the most important aspect of the pre-work and the quality of the work may determine class acceptance. But don’t let this intimidate you! The tutorial is fun and engaging and you will be surprised what you can do after this lesson!!

To skip the Intro class, you need to demonstrate that you have mastered certain skills, including creating a basic page, calling an API, using HTML & CSS, and using Github. If you attempt the Advanced pre-work but are unable to complete it, you can still apply for the Intro class by submitting a Code Sandbox animation, as described in the Intro Class pre-work.

If you have already taken a Code the Dream Intro class and are applying for one of the advanced classes, you can use your final project as your pre-work submission. Simply use that link to paste in the space for your coding project on the submission form.
