Coding Fundamentals

Description

Coding Fundamentals introduces students to programming through block-based and beginning text-based tools. Students learn core ideas such as sequences, loops, and conditions while building small games and animations. The course emphasizes problem solving, patience, and the joy of seeing code work.

What students learn

• Use sequences, loops, and conditions to build a program
• Break a problem into smaller, solvable steps
• Find and fix simple errors in code
• Create an interactive project such as a game or animation
• Explain how a finished program works to a classmate

Signature project

Students design and share an original interactive game or animation built from scratch.
