Sept 2021: Scalable Game Design Online
Learning to Program doesn’t have to be hard, it can be fun and engaging. Students stay in a flow state as they create increasing complex games, coding key computational thinking patterns as they progress.
Using a powerful visual programming language to acquire programming skills for if-then statements, cursor control, movement, loops, collision, diffusion, and many more. As students create a simple game, they master the algorithmic thinking that can then translated to any computer language. To take this course students will need access to the Internet and a computer.
