Learn

Coding is how we tell computers, tablets, and phones what to do.

During the hour of code you will learn how to create sets of instructions, called algorithms, to solve puzzles in an app. You will also learn how to use loops to make solving puzzles easier.

Do

  1. Download the CodeSpark Academy with the Foos app from Manager.

  2. Click the "Schools" button in the upper-left corner.

  3. Click "Students".

  4. Click "Hour of Code" at the bottom of the screen.

  5. Click the Puzzles button.

  6. Complete the Donut Detective and Tool Trouble Puzzles. If you have extra time, you can work through the other puzzles.

If learners need a help session/tutorials, they can click the "Footorials: Demo Mode!" at the bottom of the screen.
