Code Blocks

In the introduction of this module, we present visual (block) programming to the children. They develop an understanding of what is a "programming environment", and learn how to use it while creating their first computer program. Each topic in the module build-up the knowledge and skills of young programmers, so they know how to use "event", "condition", and "variable" and can start to write code for programming hardware components.

Topics

  1. Program and algorithm. Who manages the computer?
  2. Every code block has a starting point. Events
  3. Attention! Paths and turns into the code. If-statements
  4. The guardians of hidden treasures. Variables

Programs and Micro Computers

The first two topics of the second module provoke children to apply their knowledge, developing a project in two different programming environments. In addition, the young programmers face new concepts - "cycles" and "operators".  In this module children write their first complicated programs and further develop their programming skills using hardware components.

Topics

  1. Tornado in the Code. Cycles
  2. Code Masters. If-statements, Variables and Cycles
  3. Who is Better - Bigger - Brighter? Operators
  4. Catch Me if You Can. Debugging

Create Your First Game. Program Your Smartphone

Each of the first two topics in the module is dedicated to a large-scale game project through which children practice the previously acquired knowledge. The next two topics present young programmers to a new software tool for building mobile applications which is becoming a great tool for developing logical thinking.

Topics

  1. Create a game! Basic Concept of Game Programming. Project I
  2. Create a game! Basic Concept of Game Programming. Project II
  3. Smartphones Also Like Code. Events and Parameters in Mobile Apps
  4. Code as You Like It. Functions

Browser Who?

During this module the children learn about HTML and CSS, getting familiar with the basic structure of commands, and terms, such as "tag" and "attribute". In the first topic of the module we introduce the concepts of browser and development environment by making a smooth transition from the familiar technologies, to build on the lessons learned in the previous three modules.

Topics

  1. From an Empty Window to a Website
  2. What Language Does the Computer Speak?
  3. Does CSS Use Pencils?
  4. We Have Learned so Much!
