Students will create mobile apps and games with JavaScript programming using the Bitsbox platform to create backgrounds, objects, application icons, scrolling text, variables, functions, and loops. Students will learn how to position objects on the project screen and add action commands such as 'move', rotate', and 'flip' commands to their program to make their game and mobile app functionable. After completing their project, students will share their creation with family members and friends via text, email and link share directly from the Bitsbox application. Workshop platform: Zoom, Bitsbox, Kahoot
During this workshop, students will:
Learn basic JavaScript commands
Program a mobile game using selected commands to share with classmates and family members.
Students will use the internet to access the Bitsbox web application. Application created can be shared and access on laptops, desktops, tablets and smartphones with internet access.
This class is being offered to help students achieve beyond proficiency in their core subjects particularly in ELA and Math. I have over 10 years of experience teaching technology integration with core subjects to students, teachers and administrators. Combining computer science and technology with these subjects enable students to look a problem from different lens and coming up with solutions in a non-traditional way.
