This is a self-paced class.  There are no live meetings. Students will watch video demonstrations and be assigned tasks to apply what they learn from the videos.  Students are encouraged to submit their final game at the end of the course for teacher feedback.

This is part 2 of the beginner coding class I offer for Ages 7-10.  This class continues introducing students to basic coding vocabulary and techniques.  Students should take part 1 of this class first as it builds on what students learned in the previous beginner class and it assumes they have a working knowledge of the Kodu program.

-------------------------------------
If you loved creating games with the Kodu program in my video game design class, continue the fun in part 2 of the course.  This class is part 2 of my popular video game design class for beginner coders. Students learn to......
--Create variables in coding to store data in their code.  
--Use variables to keep track of points.
--Use variables to keep track of time in a game.
--Code objects to spawn characters for teleporting and checkpoints.
--Use pages/advanced logic to switch between player characters in the game.
--Use sub-routines/nesting in their coding.
--Create more complex and interesting games.

Important: Kodu currently only runs on Windows.  Please test running Kodu prior to signing up for the class.  Kodu is a free download at https://www.kodugamelab.com/.
