[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you PP. My kid is only wait listed but I was curious about the school. My kid loves Math but not Science. Is it a good fit for someone like that?[/quote]

Sorry, forgot to respond to this.  DD is a math dork.  Wasn't really into science going into RCMS.  And I'll say the program more computer science than science science, if that makes sense.  My kid could program python better than me by 8th grade.  But the math really builds a great foundation for so many different paths.  We've started talking about college and when I asked if she had thought about majors she said either physics or chemistry.  I about fell out of my chair :)  [/quote]

Thank you. It's funny how their paths change.

My kid is similar to yours, loves Math, shows interest in coding. Crossing my fingers she gets in since it looks like she may fit right in.

Since you are in tech, what can I do to encourage coding? I will look into the Raspberry Pi. No idea what that is. She does Khan Academy when she is bored and I think that's where she found out about coding. [/quote]

There is actually something called 'Lost in Space for 30 days ' which is a hardware kit you connect to your laptop or desktop.  It features a series of youtube videos that walk you through coding lessons over a 30 day period (or at your own speed).  The gist is you are stuck on a remote planet and you need to program your way off the planet.  You can find the kit on Amazon here:  https://www.amazon.com/inventr-io-Adventure-Kit-Compatible-Engineering/dp/B0BKH3CW7X

And to give you a little more information, there is a youtube review here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dC3Qec2SL8k that gives a little more info.
