UNITS - 8 (35 lessons)
Students review foundational CodeHop concepts like events, loops, and message events through engaging refresher activities.
Students apply computational thinking to everyday routines and build interactive scenes using events, the grid, and peer feedback.
Students learn to coordinate character actions and page transitions using message events combined with visual effects.
Students deepen their understanding of repetition by using loops to build and debug programs like timers and path-following projects.
Students apply the full range of coding skills they've learned to design creative, multi-part projects like racing games and adventure stories.
Students begin using variables to track information and start transitioning from CodeHopJr to the more advanced CodeHop Blocks interface.
Students build foundational computer knowledge and explore online safety, research, and the impact of artificial intelligence.
Students collaborate on unplugged activities that apply conditional logic to guide a character through a maze.
