From Algorithms to Animations: A Comprehensive 30-Lesson Beginner Coding Camp

Welcome to "Coding Adventures" - the perfect class for kids who want to explore the world of coding! In this 30-lesson class, students will embark on an exciting coding journey that will take them from the basics of coding all the way to creating complex and dynamic programs.

Throughout the class, students will use the engaging and user-friendly platform, Sprite Lab, to develop their coding skills. Whether it's creating algorithms to move a bird through a maze, animating underwater scenes, or programming an interactive dance party, students will learn how to use code to bring their ideas to life.

The class is designed for beginners, so no prior coding experience is required. Here's an overview of the 30 lessons:

Lesson 1: Introduction to algorithms and proper code arrangement
Lesson 2: Identifying and fixing code errors
Lesson 3: Creating algorithms for a character to pick up treasure
Lesson 4: Creating art and drawings using code
Lesson 5: Programming an animated underwater scene
Lesson 6: Programming levels with Sprite Lab, followed by a free-play task
Lesson 7: Writing programs that respond to timed events and user input
Lesson 8: Creating an interactive virtual pet
Lesson 9: Programming an interactive dance party
Lesson 10: Using loops to help a Star Wars character traverse a maze
