This 10 weeks beginner's class focuses on completing puzzle chapters before creating his or her very first games in Codespark. Each self-pace puzzle chapter would cover one or more of the following concepts: 

Chapter 1: Algorithm and Sequencing 
Chapter 2: Loops
Chapter 3:Parameters, Sequencing, and Looping 
Chapter 4: Events
Chapter 5: Conditional Statements

Once the puzzle chapters are completed the learner can then move on to the Learn section found in each game or story mode. 

At the beginning of each puzzle chapter, I would introduce the coding concept with a short PowerPoint presentation. Once the presentation is completed each learner would be encouraged to complete the corresponding puzzle chapter on their own with the understanding that almost all levels have multiple answers and thinking "outside the box" is required. Each puzzle chapter is self-pacing. Once you complete 8 out of 17 levels, the next Chapter will open. Depending on the learner's ability each puzzle chapter can take from 15 - 30 mins to complete.
