Course Discription

This class starts with Scratch.mit.edu which gives them a start of understanding block coding and some understanding of computer algorithms. From this point they will go in to Code.org chapter 3 CS Discoveries of drag and drop programming like they are used to except the blocks are JavaScript coding. Later in the lessons the student will shed the block coding and start using text coding on their projects. This course is designed to give students a start into computer programming of JavaScript.
