This session provides a framework for introducing new coding concepts to students and models a fun, interactive way of learning to code. Participants will break down problems into smaller steps, engage in critical thinking activities, puzzles, and problem-solving to learn the three big ideas that all coding languages feature. We’ll also look at a framework for assessing the process as well as the product in a computer science independent project. This is an active, high-energy workshop that will have participants up on their feet playing games and generally having fun with code.
