This class will focus on the computer coding process and allow for students to express their creative problem solving skills through coding. Students will learn how to create algorithms through code using Blockly and solve Minecraft coding puzzles that build in difficulty. Each day students will enjoy playing coding games, collaborate and help students through coding challenges, and learn coding skills such as building sequences, loops, conditions like If/Then. I will play code based games that push the meaning of the coding language and model how to build code through specific challenges. Students will be encouraged to share their coding skills as they guide others through accomplishing assigned coding tasks. Students will also have the opportunity to go on a virtual field trip in which they need to escape through a series of locks and code breaking. Students do not need any prior computer coding knowledge. This course will work with each learner at their individual level. ***Students do need to be able to click and open a link in the chat or have a parent on hand for this one part.*** The class schedule will be as follows: Week 1 • Unplugged Coding Game • Learn about Coding Sequences • Coding Puzzles Levels 1-4 Week 2 • Unplugged Coding Game • Learn about Coding Loops • Coding Puzzles Levels 5-8 Week 3 • Unplugged Coding Game • Learn about Coding Conditionals • Coding Puzzles Levels 8-12 • Virtual Field Trip Escape Other courses in this collection are: Coding For Kids (Flex Course) https://outschool.com/classes/coding-for-kids-level-1-using-blockly-W3kxg8Bw?sectionUid=6cf03092-8b27-481a-b0d3-66687077779d&usid=Aad3xYUh&signup=true&utm_campaign=share_activity_link Code Your Own game! https://outschool.com/classes/code-your-own-game-JiLfoKxD?usid=Aad3xYUh&signup=true&utm_campaign=share_activity_link Coding Club (Ongoing Course) https://outschool.com/classes/coding-club-uBeG35WX?usid=Aad3xYUh&signup=true&utm_campaign=share_activity_link Coding For Kids https://outschool.com/classes/coding-for-kids-minecraft-8SjOPo7o?usid=Aad3xYUh&signup=true&utm_campaign=share_activity_link
