Introduction to Programming – ASYNCH – Self Paced Class – 10 Lessons – Grades 6 – 12

Description of Class:

Is your child interested in programming, creating apps, robots, or video games? Then this is the place to start!  This course is for the student who has an interest in programming but no experience and is looking for where to begin.  Through a series of self-paced lessons, the student will be introduced to core programming concepts using block-based programming.   They will gain a solid foundation without getting bogged down or frustrated with language syntax.  The course will conclude with the student using the skills that they learned to create an online word game that they can share with family and friends. 

This course is a great steppingstone to move on to languages like Javascript or Python.
