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
