Introduction to Coding - Classic Mazes
Ages 7-12
Live One-Time Class
This class is designed for beginner coder and programmers. We explore the real language of coding and programming with a range of fun tasks that make you think critically to solve a coding challenge.
During this lesson students will learn, try, apply and connect with coding as we learn to code a program. We delves into the language used when coding as students use coding to program their character through mazes. This class focuses on how to use commands and events.
Lesson Structure:
- I will explicitly teach new skill.
- I will model how to use new skill.
- Students are supported through a number of challenges to practice using the new skill.
- Students will have a chance to share what they have created, if they wish.
This lesson is beginner friendly and suited for students who really want to understand why we code and how it can be used in the future.
Students do not need to download software or have a log in for this class.
