Week 1
Lesson 1
Stacks and Queues
Backtracking Maze Solver: Students will implement a maze-solving algorithm using a stack to backtrack effectively, visually tracing and retracting paths to understand stack operations.

Queue at the Theme Park: Children will simulate a theme park queue, demonstrating FIFO (First In, First Out) behavior by enqueuing and dequeuing people as they enter and exit a ride line.
 Week 2
Lesson 2
Maps/Dictionary
 Students will develop a program that reads a text file and utilizes a map data structure to tally the frequency of each word present. They will visualize the results by generating a histogram that displays the word counts at the end of execution.
 Week 3
Lesson 3
Runtime Analysis
Students will learn about Big O notation, which describes the worst-case scenario for the runtime of an algorithm as the input size grows. It helps in understanding the efficiency and scalability of algorithms.
 Week 4
Lesson 4
Recursion
Students will implement a recursive function to compute the power of a number, demonstrating how recursion simplifies repetitive mathematical operations.
 Week 5
Lesson 5
Searching and Sorting
Students will create a game that teaches when to use certain search and sort algorithms. It will then record the number of steps it takes to solve.
 Week 6
Lesson 6
Pointers 
Pre and post increment are operators used in programming languages like C++ to increment the value of a variable by one before or after using its current value in an expression, respectively. 
 Week 7
Lesson 7
Linked Lists
The Train Car Assembly Game is designed to teach students about linked lists by representing each train car as a node. In this game, students can interactively add and remove train cars, which mirrors the process of adding and removing nodes in a linked list. 
 Week 8
Lesson 8
Debugging and Testing
Debugging involves identifying and fixing errors in code, while testing verifies that a program behaves correctly under different conditions. Both are essential for ensuring software reliability and functionality.
 Week 9
Lesson 9
Review
Students will review all concepts learned.
 Week 10
Lesson 10
Final Projects
Students will present their final project.
