Beginner Level
🎮 In this hands-on creative coding course, students dive into the world of game development using p5.js—a beginner-friendly JavaScript library. They'll learn how to animate shapes, use variables and loops, detect collisions, and build two exciting games: Ping Pong and Dodge Masters! ✨ From drawing their first digital character to writing code that responds to keyboard input, learners gradually unlock the core building blocks of coding. Topics like the draw() loop, conditionals, arrays, and functions are introduced through fun, bite-sized projects that feel more like play than homework. 🧩 Each class follows a structured rhythm: a short demo, step-by-step live coding, hands-on challenges, and room for creative twists. Whether it’s bouncing balls, flying clones, or dodging enemies, students apply what they learn right away by making their own mini-games. 👩💻 The instructor keeps things lively with real-time coding, visuals, and the occasional video clip to break down tricky concepts. No dry lectures here—just dynamic, interactive sessions where kids get to code, create, and collaborate. 🎨 The vibe? Energetic, visual, and beginner-friendly. Every student is encouraged to make their game unique, ask questions freely, and think like a game designer. 💬 And yes—tons of interaction! Students share ideas, get live feedback, and show off their creations. Whether it's fixing a bug together or celebrating a working game, everyone's part of the action.
