Basics Of Coding And Coding Concepts Course

Learn Basics of Coding and Coding Concepts where young learners explore essential programming concepts like algorithms, loops, and variables. Engaging activities cover the basics of web development, nurturing computational thinking and laying the groundwork for coding and creating simple interactive web pages.

Course Curriculum:

• Part 1 - Introduction to Coding
•  Introduction to Coding:
• What is Coding: Define coding and explain its importance. Introduce the concept of giving instructions to computers. The Language of Computers: Discuss the analogy of coding as a language for computers. Explore how computers understand and execute code. What are Algorithms: Introduce the concept of algorithms through simple activities. Use everyday examples to explain the step-by-step nature of algorithms.
• Part 2 - Introduction to Flowgorithm
•  Introduction to flowcharts :
• Introduction to flowcharts, learning different shapes and their use in flowcharts. Flowchart programming language: Installation and setup of flowgorithm in system, Introduction to flowcharts, different shapes in flowgorithm and its use in flowchart: variable, control flow, start/stop, loop, decision (developing flowcharts for simple problem statement).
• Part 3 - Introduction to Variables and Conditional Statements
•  Introduction to Variables and Conditional Statements :
• What are Variables: Explain the concept of variables with everyday examples. Emphasize how variables store and represent information. Playing with Variables: Engage in activities that involve changing variables (e.g., counting, changing colors). Discuss the impact of variables on outcomes. What are Conditionals: Introduce conditional statements using "if," "else if," and "else." Relate conditionals to decision-making processes. Everyday Decision-Making: Use real-life scenarios to explain decision-making processes. Discuss how conditionals can be used in coding.
• Part 4 - Basics of Loops and Repetition
•  Basics of Loops and Repetition :
• Understanding Loops: Introduce the concept of loops and repetition. Explain how loops can simplify repetitive tasks. Looping in Daily Activities: Relate loops to everyday activities that involve repetition. Practice creating loops for various tasks.
