AIM Institute (aiminstitute.org) provides technology educational opportunities for youth and adults. Throughout June, it hosted 17 middle and high school students from the Omaha and Council Bluffs school districts to participate in its first-ever Google Code Next Summer Academy.
Students were able to engage in an intensive learning program focused on front-end programming skills including HTML, CSS and JavaScript. This group of students submitted final projects featuring their own e-commerce websites. The websites are impressive, with multiple built-out tabs, links and other design features.
AIM has completed year two of a three-year grant funded by Google, which brings front-end coding skills to the fingertips of college-bound students. The curriculum is fully developed by Google Programmers, called Googlers. Students were able to interact with local Google employees throughout the duration of the Summer Academy held at AIM.
AIM offers programs like Youth Academies and Code School to nurture tech talent from elementary school through adulthood. AIM’s Youth Academies provide life-changing, intensive learning experiences to prepare students to reach their potential and achieve their ultimate personal, academic and professional success. This ensures that the future the Omaha technology community has a strong base of well-rounded, successful participants from all walks of life.
Congratulations to the graduating class of the 2024 Google Code Next Summer Academy!
