12 LESSONS | SEE BELOW LESSONS FOR PROJECT DESCRIPTION ⬇️
In this project, students explore the nature of computers and ways humans control and use technology. Students learn about the sequential nature of computer programs and learn about coding concepts in everyday contexts. They will apply their understanding to solve online puzzles using visual programming. Students become code detectives, debugging their own and others’ code while pair programming. At the request of your principal, students create a virtual map of your school that can be used for new student and parent tours.
