This professional learning workshop is part of our Interactive Games and Projects for High School Students series.
Each workshop is comprised of two sessions presented virtually from 6-8pm. See all workshops by visiting the series page here.
Session 1: Tuesday, March 24
Use a timed loop and keyboard to animate keeping an object in the air (think Flappy Bird) and apply a jump and gravity function to an object (think dino run when the internet goes out.)
Session 2: Tuesday, March 31
Develop one of the games from session one. Move and avoid obstacles and earn points.
About the Series
Interactive Games and Projects for High School Students is a professional development course designed for high school educators teaching a general Computer Science course and/or Computer Science Principles. In this training, we will develop various projects in Code.org’s App Lab that teach students to use variables, conditionals, and create functions at an introductory level.
Each project will be taught at an introductory level suitable for first exposure of the concepts while also including opportunities for advanced students to extend the complexity. Teachers will leave with working code that can be expanded by students into larger projects. Educators will explore strategies for integrating projects that reinforce key programming concepts while fostering creativity and problem-solving.
