CodeCraft with Minecraft (12 Weeks) – Intermediate

Description

Objective:

This curriculum is designed to teach students how to develop efficient algorithms and programs by incorporating essential coding concepts such as events, variables, loops, and functions. Throughout the course, students will collaborate on creating computational artifacts, which will enhance their problem-solving and teamwork skills. Through project-based learning, they will deepen their understanding of advanced coding techniques, gaining practical experience in applying these concepts to real-world challenges. The course culminates in the presentation and reflection on their collaborative coding projects, allowing students to showcase their work and evaluate their growth as programmers.

 

Topics Covered:

  Weeks 1-2: Develop Algorithms, Events, and Event Handlers.

  Weeks 3-4: Using Variables for Efficiency and Advanced Event Handling.

  Weeks 5-6: Introduce Functions and Collaborative Project.

  Weeks 7-8: Refining Algorithms and Advanced Event Handling.

  Weeks 9-10: Mastering Nested Loops and Deep Dive into Functions.

  Weeks 11-12: Collaborative Project Presentation and Finalizing Projects.

 

Outcome: By the end of this course, students will have gained a strong understanding of advanced coding concepts and their application to real-world problems. They will have developed efficient algorithms, mastered event handling, nested loops, and functions, and applied these techniques collaboratively to create a computational artifact. The course culminates in a collaborative project where students present their work, reflecting on their growth as programmers.
