Students code their own 2D top-down role-playing game inspired by classic adventures like Zelda, using Python and PixelPAD. They'll design interactive worlds featuring characters, collectible items, and engaging challenges. By implementing concepts such as character interactions, inventory systems, and basic game logic, students expand their coding skills through creative storytelling and interactive gameplay. Basic familiarity with computers and keyboarding necessary; no prior coding experience required.

This course is the first part of level 3 in a 4 level program designed to prepare students for computer science courses at the high school or university level. Computer Science Preparation Levels 1-3 practice the fundamentals of Java, while also applying them to a unique coding project that complements the course content. Computer Science Preparation Level 4 is specifically designed to prepare students for the Computer Science AP exam and test preparation based on the topics from levels 1-3. The course topics in level 2 are: array lists (traversing, searching, sorting), 2D Arrays, inheritance, and polymorphism. This course has two projects, coding a game similar to Memory, and "21".

Computer programming experience in Java is required prior to beginning this course.

At this level, students will learn how to use Unity3D, modern game development software used by corporate and independent studio developers. Software made in Unity3D can be ported to mobile devices, PC’s, consoles such as the Xbox and PlayStation and can be shared or sold on the Android and Apple store. Students will write C# in Microsoft Visual Studio and finish with a full 2D spaceship game!

Students will be introduced to the fundamentals of front-end web development by building their own fully functional website using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Designed for students with no web development experience, this course focuses on writing clean, structured code to create content, apply visual styling, and add simple interactivity. Students will learn how websites are constructed and displayed in browsers, gaining a clear understanding of how code translates to on-screen behavior. Using professional tools, they will explore key concepts such as semantic markup, box model layout, responsive design principles, and basic scripting. The course is not focused on app development or complex functionality, but rather on establishing foundational skills and confidence in web development. By the end, each student will create and publish a personal portfolio website to showcase their previous projects.

No prior coding experience is required.
