• Getting Started

  This module introduces the CodeHop Playground, computing system components and troubleshooting, and computational thinking through designing an obstacle course.

• Programming Exploration

  This sequential story-driven module has students use basic programming commands, sprites, loops, events, and motion/looks blocks to build an animated Scout adventure story.

• Sequences & Events

  This module builds sequence and event skills using parallel sequences, broadcast messages, and creative storytelling, while teaching proper attribution when remixing programs.

• Loops

  This module teaches loop repetition and debugging, models how data travels across networks, and compares loop types through a falling objects program.

• Conditionals and Variables

  This module builds foundational programming logic with if/then and if/then/else conditionals, functions, variables, and comparison operators, culminating in designing and debugging a platform game.

• Culmination Project

  This culminating module applies events, conditionals, variables, comparison operators, and broadcasts to build a digital pet, and uses design thinking to improve the accessibility of a tool.

• Digital Literacy

  This module covers digital citizenship and literacy topics including online etiquette, cybersecurity basics, the impacts of technology on culture, data inquiry, source attribution, and file and data management.
