Welcome to Coding! A fun scenario-based approach where students will be introduced to the basics of motion and animation in coding. Students will be able to build simple games, create animations, and complete a variety of projects which can help them succeed in future computer endeavors and jobs.

Topics Covered: Use of sequencing, pattern recognition, loops, conditional logic to create programs. Create scenes, add sounds and music and use keyboard controls to drive your programs. Learn about motion, broadcasting messages and adding special effects.

What Students Learn:

  • Recognizing patterns
  • Computational thinking
  • Sequencing tasks
  • Using automation
  • Problem-solving
  • Create interactive scenes with actors, scenes, and music
  • Design animations using loops
  • Program motion along X- and Y-axes
  • Build algorithms using conditional logic
  • Understand scripts running in parallel
  • Program music using notes, tempo and instruments
  • Create different scenarios and effects in games
  • Publish projects to the Web
