Students learn the basics of programming concepts while creating video games and integrating cross-curricular, STEM-based skill sets.
The fun and easy-to-use text-software design guide teaches coding and programming of video games by applying pseudo code. Pseudo code helps students understand and learn programming logic for future study of computer languages.Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) form the foundation on which society in the 21st century builds and maintains economic growth. This curriculum integrates the rigor and relevance of STEM while preparing students for college and career.Activity-based integrated curriculum of game-theory reading is combined with application of programming concepts in hands-on game builds.
