Coding with Kids: /evel M $ge: 11 Level M is a thorough introduction to computer programming for Middle School students. The goal of this class is to cover all coding concepts included in Levels 1 to 3 of our Elementary Program and present it in a way that is appropriate for this age group. Instead of using Scratch (drag-and-drop environment for beginners), we will dive right into a real-world programming language, Python. Curriculum will cover both computer programming concepts (e.g. variables, loops, functions) as well as game development fundamentals (e.g. keybased controls, game physics, event handling).

Students will apply the learned techniques to build projects and games.
