CS70: Elementary Programming Course C
Course Description
In this course, students learn programming fundamentals through an intuitive web-based program. The learning environment makes learning programming concepts easy and fun! The course is taught through a series of mini-lectures and programming challenges. Students will complete these challenges through block based programming, an easy drag and drop system. These challenges are designed to make learning as enjoyable as playing a game. After learning the fundamentals, their knowledge will be put to the test by having students create a mini-game using what they have learned so far. By the end of the class, your child will be eager to learn more in order to create their own games with even more complexity.
Project | Concepts Taught |
---|---|
Sequencing | Execution of blocks in sequence Step by step execution (Debugging) Directional blocks Pixels and movement with pixels Directional degrees Fixing errors Achieve goal with minimum resources Usage of pick up values |
Loops | Basic usage of loops Overcoming repetitive code Using repeat blocks Using repeat blocks in sequence Picking up different types of items Running code conditionally, ex. if lava ahead place block down |
Events | Triggering code on certain events Changing properties of characters and games Handling events involving multiple characters Handling mouse click events Playing sound Ending events Repeating code forever Displaying data |
