University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa students will be providing another round of free coding classes to youth, but this time both in-person and virtual options will be available.

ICSpark is a computer science club at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa that provides free coding classes and mentorship to youth. The program, in its fourth year, is driven by a passionate team of talented computer science and engineering undergraduate students looking to give back to their community. 

This year, ICSpark also will offer a free online or in-person 3-month introductory coding class for 6th to 12th grade students on how to create websites.

The classes will be held every Saturday from Feb. 4 to May 6, 2023. Sessions are held from 9 a.m. to noon. In-person classes will be at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. No coding experience is required. 

Seats are limited and registration is accepted on a first-come, first-serve basis. Registration closes on Jan. 14, 2023. To register, go to: https://bit.ly/icspark

ICSpark is part of Technology Outreach Hawaii (TORCH), a non-profit organization that aims to promote technology education, mentorship, collaboration and service across Hawaiʻi.
