Coding Foundations I

Twelve self-paced coding lessons with live weekly instructor meetings. Hardware is optional to start; every family gets a downloadable workbook for each child in the house, plus weekly live group meetups with a Robotic Camp instructor. This is the required starting point for every household, whatever age or experience level your kids are coming in with. What's included: 12 self-paced video lessons One downloadable workbook per child Weekly live group meetups (not one-on-one) for three months Covers every child living in your home, not just one seat By the end of this course, your child will know how to code with: Loops Forever loops (repeat code endlessly) While loops (repeat until a condition changes) For loops (repeat a set number of times) Nested loops (a loop inside a loops Decision-Making If / else statements Else if (multiple conditions) Comparison operators (greater than, less than, equal to) Thresholds for automatic reactions Variables & Data Creating and naming variables Setting and changing variable values Counters Lists (arrays) — storing and retrieving multiple values Using an index to pull items from a list Randomness Generating random numbers Picking random items from a list Inputs & Sensors Button events (A, B, and A+B together) Shake / motion detection (accelerometer) Light sensor Microphone / sound level Reading and interpreting sensor data Outputs Scrolling text Custom LED icons and images Bar graphs Sound effects and musical tones Custom animations Functions Writing reusable functions Calling functions from other parts of a program Using functions to organize and shorten code Real Code Reading JavaScript alongside visual code blocks Editing JavaScript directly Finding and fixing bugs (debugging) Predicting what code will do before running it Capstone Skill Combining every skill above into one complete, original project
