We have been working hard to extend our course offering so that you can use our engaging content for teaching and learning at KS3(UK)/grades 6-8(US).
Presenting: Computational Thinking - Create a maze game
We are particularly excited about this new course which delivers the concepts of Computational Thinking in parallel with coding skills. You can choose to complete the project with your students using either JavaScript or Python, it’s up to you!
The course covers:
Designing algorithms (using Codio’s Flode tools)
Flode
Thinking logically (using blockly to build your maze)
Decomposing the problem into it’s component parts
Abstracting detail through the use of objects and functions
You can read more about computational thinking here. We think you and your students will love working through this project. As always - please let us know your thoughts and feedback.
Enjoy :)
