Challenge: Movie Reviews

Welcome to the code side. The interactive lesson introduces coding in a game format with familiar characters. Young computer experts learn to develop code to control the interaction of the characters in the game. The activity ends with...

Young coders learn how to use a function to create objects with similar properties and to allow for the creation of objects repeatedly with a short video that makes the point that coding with a function eliminates repetitions.

Expand your beginning coder's use of objects in programs by looking at examples where you can change code to define and use objects in arrays and pass objects as parameters to a function. All of this leads to a deeper understanding of...

When you introduce objects and object-oriented programming to your coding students, you are starting them on an important path. This introductory video shows how to replace the use of many variables with the use of a single object...

Similar to using variables, object properties can be changed in the program. However, you can also dynamically add new properties while the program runs. The video shows how to define an object, use an object property, change an object...

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

There is an easier way to share functions among objects. The fifth section of a six-part series on object-oriented design introduces the concept of object inheritance. The coding helps pupils create a base object type that has all the...

What are variables, and why do I need them? These are the questions answered in this basic computer programming video. The author stresses the importance of how the equal sign used in math class has a different meaning than the equal...

As far as languages go, binary is pretty easy to learn. Scholars watch an informative video on binary code. It explains the basics of how binary code works, and then shows how people encode colors and sound as binary code.

You haven't seen any large-mouth frogs around have you? Hopefully, there will be lots of them as your young JavaScript coders complete this task to create a frog with a wide mouth and use variables in a way that connect the frog face...
