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, April 14
Using a data table from App Lab, we will incorporate multiple lists to create a guessing game. For example, using data about US States, pull columns representing state names and images. We will choose a random image and have users identify the state. What fun!
Session 2: Tuesday, April 21
In this fun session, we will attempt to teach App Lab how we are best motivated. Using generated lists of motivation quotes, we will randomly select a quote and tell App Lab if we are motivated. Using that input, our code will slowly learn and work to provide more similar quotes to those liked by the user. If time allows, we will also learn how to store data in App Lab from use to use (meaning the training we provide will not reset each time we press run.)
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.
