Class Description:

This week-long course is suitable for middle school students with decent typing proficiency (+20 WPM) and math experience (e.g knowledge of coordinates, understanding of velocity and movement, and ease with coming up with arithmetic expressions for word problems). Prior experience with block-based programming is preferred, but not required. This course will be taught in Java, with special emphasis on syntax/typing precision.

Computing concepts in this course includes array-lists, functions, and complex loop constructions. Students will be working together to construct and complete their projects. They will learn project planning and outlining, and will learn how to talk about their code in a way that encourages feed-back and constructive criticism. By the end of this course, students will create their own project/game with moderately complex logic and game states.

Prerequisites:

20+ WPM typing speed and 6th grade math proficiency.
