Whizara’s Intermediate Java programming course builds on the Introduction to Java course and lays the foundation of object oriented programming (OOP), arrays, data structures and error handling while further reinforcing concepts from the Introduction to Java programming course. Students further develop computational thinking and fluency in the software development process and develop Java programs to solve complex real world problems and game projects. Students develop a course-end project to showcase their learnings from the course. Prerequisites: Prior experience with the concepts taught in the Introduction to Java programming course is required to participate in this course. A laptop or any computer/PC with internet connectivity is required to participate in this course.

"We have had students interested in coding, but did not have staff with content knowledge to teach it. Whizara did a wonderful job of providing the curriculum and the expertise to give our students great success with their first experience in coding. The students grew tremendously throughout the class, as the instructor was kind, knowledgeable and related well with the students. The scope and sequence of the curriculum was excellent and I couldn’t believe how much progress the students made in just 10 weeks. Our school looks forward to working with Whizara again in the future! "

"Whizara program further developed our students' creativity. Using the program not only taught them coding but also critical thinking and reasoning skills that go beyond coding and support students in all subjects. "
