Intro to MakeCode

Rising Grades 3 to 4

Learn to code and build interactive games.

Students dive into coding with Microsoft MakeCode, a fun and beginner-friendly platform for creating interactive projects. They learn the basics of programming and game design, including how to create characters, control game actions, and add exciting features like sound effects and levels. Hands-on lessons and tutorials make coding engaging and accessible to students with no prior experience.

Students work on a variety of creative projects, from building custom games with unique backgrounds to experimenting with game physics like speed and collision. They can also design their own game controllers and play their games on external hardware devices, making the class even more memorable. Every student has the opportunity to personalize their work and explore their creativity.

By the end of the course, students gain confidence in coding and problem-solving while creating games they can proudly share with family and friends.
