A Computer Model For a Recycling Center

Computers need to know a lot of languages, n'est-ce pas? Scholars learn about advances in computer programming, from assemblers and compilers to more recent programming languages. They learn how these advances led to a shift in...

While learning to code is fairly interesting academic pursuit in it's own right, it also has other learning benefits. For one, coders learn to how to learn. They are continually exploring, testing, and drawing conclusions about how...

Include an informative video on programming as part of your computer science instruction. The 12th installment in the series teaches about statements and functions required to write code. Individuals learn about the IF, FOR, and WHILE...

How is a textile loom related to computer programming? An engaging video begins with an example of a textile loom requiring instructions to produce patterns to introduce the idea of programming and hen goes on to explain early...

Ever wonder how those neat painting applications work? Completing this coding activity will give you some insight. First, starting with a simple function that draws a small circle as the mouse moves around the screen, adjust the function...

Now try writing your first while loop! This activity guides you through creating a small JavaScript program that marks the top of the screen with a ruler. Use the while loop to write the numbers across the screen.

This video shows young programers how to use the same concept to duplicate objects with different properties to attach functions to objects. The method allows for functions to be easily called with various objects. 

Practice using conditional if statements, Boolean expressions, and Boolean operators by programming a user-selected button. This activity guides by using a small program that needs some modifications to work correctly. 

It isn't always true that programming utilizes one's skills in math, but in this example it does. Here we use the notation of variable expressions to tie different aspects of our drawing together so that it maintains the correct...

Just imagine how excited your young coders will be when they actually program their first object to move across the computer screen! This short video makes it sound easy, and the reality is, it is relatively easy. Any confusion will be...
