Description

This course is designed for students who have no previous coding experience to learn the basics of coding by using iterative design to solve a series of problems embedded within a gamestory. In doing so, students will learn how to use decomposition to break tasks into sub-problems, debug software to troubleshoot code, and design algorithms to solve problems. By the end of the course, students will be able to code an interactive game using block-based programming.

Guest registration opens January 12
