Supplemental

Unit	Description
	Extra Karel Practice: It can take some time to learn all of Karel's tricks. Brush up here with some extra Karel practice problems. These reinforce all of the fundamental concepts introduced in Karel, including commands, functions, loops, conditions control structures, and problem decomposition.
	Extra Karel Puzzles: A set of all the trickiest Karel puzzles for you to solve
	Functions and Parameters Practice: Functions are the critical building block of any program. To be able to use functions, you want to make sure you fully understand parameters, return values, and how to create your own functions. That is what this practice module is for.
	Extra Console Challenges: A bunch of fun console programs to get practice with JavaScript.
	More Graphics and Animation: A bunch of fun graphics programs to get practice with JavaScript.
	Data Structures Challenge Problems: Learn to code Conway's Game of Life and your own Connect Four game using your skills in data structures.
	Evolution Simulation:
	Demo Problems:
	Extra Quiz Questions:
	Extra Resources:
	Visualizing Music: Learn how to create your own music visualizer!
	Data Structures: Students learn about lists/arrays, maps/objects, sets, and grids. These are the essential basic data structures that any program will use.
	Project: Tic Tac Toe: Students create their own game of Tic Tac Toe! Students apply what they have learned about data structures and make a two player tic tac toe game.
	Project: Helicopter Game: Students demonstrate their programming prowess as they develop the classic Helicopter game one step at a time.
