Description
Programming is a way of thinking that is useful in any career. In this course, your students will discover how coding concepts can be applied to six exciting careers: Robotics Engineer, Musician, Astronaut, Farmer, Beekeeper, and Pastry Chef. Students will discover how programming can be used to animate characters, compose music, tell stories, design games, and even create art.
This course includes six lessons. Each lesson is designed for a class period of 45-60 minutes. Students will learn on their own as they are introduced to each career, learn coding concepts through interactive tutorials, solve coding puzzles, build their own projects using new coding skills, and take quizzes to review what they have learned. All student work is automatically tracked and assessed; and with access to Tynker's premium offerings, you'll even be able to monitor student progress and mastery charts.
