COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Students program with the help of Makecode Arcade. In Makecode Arcade students learn to program more advanced video games where they will learn to move the camera while the characters are in constant motion and more. They will program characters to go on an adventures and create scenarios for their game. The course is developed for students from 14 to 16 years old. Students learn mathematics, science and computing in a fun way and at the end of the course they will present their projects demonstrating what they learned.
