GO ON WITH THE SHOW (4 Weeks)- Intermediate

Description

Objective:

Students will:

1. Explore and problem-solve by navigating a theater environment using coding (block – based coding and Python) and critical thinking.

2. Apply foundational coding concepts such as sequences, loops, and debugging.

3. Demonstrate creativity and adaptability by iterating and designing solutions for costumes, sets, and routines.

4. Reflect and communicate the role of creativity in coding and collaborate with peers to produce and share a final performance.

Topics Covered:

• 1. Main Coding Concepts

  • Sequences

  • Loops

  • Debugging

  2. Thematic Learning through Departments

  Each department teaches coding with block – based coding and Python through both structured and creative activities:

  Department	Puzzle Challenge	Creative Task
  🎶 Sound Stage	Arrange musical notes using code	Compose original music
  💃 Dance Studio	Code specific dance routines	Choreograph custom routines
  🎭 Prop Department	Sequence biome, time, and weather	Design custom stage settings
  👗 Wardrobe	Assemble costumes by code	Create and customize costume designs

  3. Hidden Gags & Exploration

  • 12 hidden comedic scenes can be found, each unlocking backup dancers.

  • Students are rewarded for exploring and discovering extras.

  4. Finale Performance

  • A show where students’ work is showcased.

  • Opportunity to re-code and refine for improved creativity.

Outcome:

By the end of the lesson, students will be able to:

• Navigate and interact with a virtual world using block-based or Python coding.

• Complete structured puzzles and open-ended tasks across different departments of a theater.

• Create custom solutions (music, choreography, props, and costumes).

• Participate in a culminating performance.

• Optionally revisit and refine their creative code solutions for enhancement.

• Reflect on how coding is a tool for both creative expression and problem-solving.
