Using the online program Tynker, you will work through lessons learning coding concepts in a game-like way. To complete each lesson, you will do a review, solve a puzzle, run through a tutorial, build your own project, and take a quiz. You will create interactive stories, animations, and mini-games. 

Learning Intentions
I am learning to…

• Write code. [Give instructions to a computer to tell it what to do.]
• Follow and create a sequence of steps.

Success Criteria
I will be successful when I…

• Use and arrange different code instructions.
• Troubleshoot and debug my programs.

To learn this I will…

• Use the Tynker program, Course: Programming 101 to:
  • design animated characters
  • create interactive scenes
  • make animated birthday cards
  • write cartoon stories
  • create a music machine
  • experiment with maths art
  • design and build small games
