Hour of Code TouchDevelopMinecraft
Coding Jet Pack Jumper Fix a game through a simple set of challenges so a crazyrobot can make it through a maze of wacky obstacles Ideal for beginners ages 8 Duration: Up to one hour
Kodu Makerspace & Learn to Code FlatverseCurriculum for Camps & Clubs Spiraling sequence of introductory computerscience exploration No coding experience required to teach or learn Each camp is divided into 4, 2 hour sessions Kodu: Beginner coding, best for ages 8 Flatverse: Intermediate coding, best for ages 12
Kodu Makerspace Introduce Kodu Game Lab anddemonstrate how anyone cancreate rich and exciting games.Explore the design process andcover skills needed to createworlds and games with KoduGame Lab.Learn how interesting andpowerful games can becreated with simple buildingblocks and techniques.
Kodu Makerspace – Camp Overview Introduce Kodu Game Lab and demonstrate howanyone can create rich and exciting games. explore the design process and cover skills needed tocreate worlds and games with Kodu Game Lab. Learn how interesting and powerful games can becreated with simple building blocks and techniques.
Kodu Makerspace – Camp Format Some activities are interactive tutorials and others camperdriven, with open-ended game design.Each session includes collaborative design anddevelopment activities.Specific skills covered: analyzing and revising gamecharacters, writing code to create in-game actions,collaboratively planning and creating a Kodu game,listening to peer feedback, and iterating the design process.
Learn to Code Flatverse Camp Overview Intro to basic computer science (programming/coding)concepts: screen coordinates, random numbers, objects andfunctions, variables and parameters, user input, loops,conditionals Use TouchDevelop - an interactive, online programmingenvironment - to create and publish your own video game
Flatverse Camp overviewAll 4 Sessions have similar format: Touch Develop functionality/1-2 computer science concepts Work with CS concepts in a standalone mini script Apply concepts into your Flatverse gameFinal Session concludes with students sharing the gamethey’ve built
