Week 1
Lesson 1
Scoring
Students learn how to use variables in coding to keep track of points in a game.  They are able to add points and subtract points from the container (variable) based on events in the game.  Students also learn how to trigger a win screen after a certain number of points are reached.
 Week 2
Lesson 2
Timer/Survival Games
Students learn how to create a timer in their game using variables and scoring that gives the player a certain amount of time they have to survive in the game to win.  
 Week 3
Lesson 3
Teleporting
Students learn how to use portals they create to teleport a player from one of the part of the game to the other.  This requires the use of creatables in Kodu, which are saved characters and objects that can be reused (spawned) during gameplay.  Students also practice active listening as they share ideas on other ways teleporting can be used in a game.
 Week 4
Lesson 4
Collaborative Teleporting 
Students work together with a small group to come with different ideas to use teleporting in a game.  They then work with their group to try some of the ideas together in Kodu.  Students practice active listening and collaborative skills as they work with and support each other during game creation.
 Week 5
Lesson 5
Character Transformation
Students learn how to use advanced coding logic to switch between playable characters in a game.  They then work with a small group to agree on an idea to apply this concept to a game they create with each other.
 Week 6
Lesson 6
Checkpoints
Students learn how to create save points in their game so a player can save progress as they progress through a game world.  They are also introduced to the concept of using variables to signal to objects in the game that they need to run a behavior at a certain time.  For example, when students get to a checkpoint, a point is scored.  This point then signals the previous checkpoint to turn off.
