What's included
1 live meeting
50 mins in-class hoursClass Experience
In this course, I will teach the very basics of computer programming by having kids actually do line-by-line coding using the LOGO programming language. Students will learn about typing in codes to control a turtle on their screen. The class will be structured with me leading students to the website we will be utilizing that will allow us to use the turtle graphic interface. I will then demonstrate where to type the codes and students will see the turtle in action. Once they are comfortable with the codes necessary to draw, they will then get the chance to design their own name with my support.
Learning Goals
Students will learn the basics of LOGO programming by drawing their names using the turtle interface.
