UNITS - 8 (40 lessons)
Students get an optional introduction to the CodeHop platform, practicing sequencing, motion, and events through the Scout Adventures story and unplugged card games.
Students build foundational sequencing and event-handling skills, applying computational thinking to everyday routines and interactive CodeHop projects.
Students learn to use repeat and forever loops to build engaging, interactive programs.
Students learn how characters can communicate using message blocks, applying these skills in interactive games while practicing debugging.
Students learn to build multi-scene projects by navigating between pages with "go to page" blocks.
Students learn to use the grid system to control character movement and organize animations in structured, goal-oriented projects.
Students apply their programming skills to design and build creative, personalized final projects.
Students build a foundational understanding of computers, software, online safety, data, and how AI makes decisions.
