Log Cabin Schoolhouse Coding (Self-Paced)

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 game play with CodeCombat.

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

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. Depending on the schedules of the students and teacher, a monthly game night over Zoom might be hosted as well.

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. If you are looking for more instruction than answers to any coding questions, then keep your eye out for my instructional videos that go along with this course, available 8/17! The first release of videos will only be available for Python. Javascript, Web Development, and Game Development are coming soon!
