EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO LEARN CODE
Log Cabin Schoolhouse Coding Class
Programming is magic. It’s the ability to create things from pure imagination. CodeCombat was started to give learners the feeling of wizardly power at their fingertips by using typed code.
As it turns out, that enables them to learn faster too. WAY faster. It’s like having a conversation instead of reading a manual. Everyone should have the chance to learn the magic of programming.
Course Content
Students type real Python or Javascript while playing games that encourage trial-and-error, critical thinking, and creativity. Students then apply the coding skills they’ve learned by vanquishing enemies through fun and interactive gameplay with CodeCombat.
Programming Skills:
(Python levels are marked ‘a’ and Javascript levels are marked ‘b’)
Level 1a & 1b: Basic Syntax, While Loops, Arguments, Strings, Variables, Algorithms
Level 2a & 2b: Basic Syntax, Arguments, Strings, While Loops, Variables, If Statements, Functions, Parameters, Advanced Strings
Level 3a & 3b: Basic Syntax, Arguments, If Statements, Variables, Strings, While Loops, Arithmetic, Advanced Strings, Input Handling, Functions, Parameters, Boolean Logic, Arrays, Break Statements, Continue Statements
Level 4a & 4b: Basic Syntax, Arguments, Variables, Strings, If Statements, Arithmetic, While Loops, Arrays, Functions, Parameters, Object Literals, For Loops, Boolean Logic, Modulo
Level 5a & 5b: Basic Syntax, Arguments, Variables, Strings, While Loops, Arrays, For Loops, Functions, If Statements, Boolean Logic, Algorithms, Break Statements, Math Library Operations, Object Literals, Arithmetic, Graphics, Advanced Strings, Parameters, Continue Statements
This class is 100% self-paced with a monitored forum for all the students to chat with other kids taking this class. All the students will also be able to email the teacher at any time while they have their license, with any coding questions. A monthly game night is also hosted over Zoom where students play a bunch of games with coding vocabulary!
View the suggested pace and guide for the class above! Class includes 1-year membership with Code Combat, 1-year feedback with an experienced coding teacher, live chats with other young programmers, coding games to solidify their knowledge, as well as possibly a monthly game night via Zoom.
There is NO LIVE CLASS in this coding course. There are short and fun instructional videos that take place of a boring hour-long lecture!
Flashcard Content
From terms such as variable, parameter, and array, these flashcards allow you to build better knowledge and understanding of coding and the terms you use while coding.
These flashcards include 48 important coding terms they will need in levels 1-5!
