About the Program
CSBase is a coding education organization dedicated to making computer science accessible to young learners. Inspiration Learning partnered with CSBase to host free introductory programming sessions at our local library, reaching 150 elementary and middle school students across the program.
Students were introduced to three foundational languages: Java, Python, and HTML — giving them a broad foundation in both object-oriented programming and web development from an early age.
Kelly Nie, founder and president of Inspiration Learning, served as one of the instructors, leading Java sessions and helping students build their first programs. The library setting made the program welcoming and community-centered — no prior experience required.
