Students will be introduced to the fundamental concepts of coding in a simple, engaging, and interactive way. Through block-based programming, they will explore how to give commands to characters and create step-by-step instructions to achieve a goal.
What Students Will Experience
- Learn what coding is and how it is used in real life
- Use block coding to control characters and complete tasks
- Watch an introductory video connecting coding to everyday life
- Practice writing algorithms and solving debugging challenges
- Work collaboratively to guide a character home using logical steps
- Begin small coding tasks with a clear target and purpose
Skill Development
Coding strengthens key skills such as perseverance, resilience, logical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving. Students will also learn core vocabulary including algorithm, program, and debugging, and will understand the importance of giving precise instructions and fixing errors when outcomes do not match expectations.
