Puppy Adventure
Puppy Adventure
In Puppy Adventure, you will give your puppy commands to reach various items. The puppy likes to pick up a ball, drink his water, and jump over cones. To program your puppy, you will connect the "coding blocks" like puzzle pieces to get him where you want him to go. If you have no experience with coding, you might want to try this with an adult first. Happy coding!

Learning Algorithms
Learning Algorithms
Algorithms are the basic building blocks of computer programs. Although they have a fancy name, algorithms are just simple sets of instructions. In this lesson, students learn the basic concept of developing an algorithm by creating a "program" to move a mouse through a maze to find his treats.
