Project: Magic 8-Ball

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...

As the author in this video states, "Life is complex." To handle this complexity, programming languages use something called Boolean operators. In a simple JavaScript code example, this video shows how to set up a conditional statement...

Here's where it all comes together. Using the skills learned in the previous three videos, the final installment of this series on JavaScript explores how to create functions. By the end of the video, young programmers will be able...

Variables represent one of the most fundamental features in any programming language. The easy-to-follow explanation given in this video focuses on the difference between variables and values. Specifically, the author looks at how...

This video continues the Khan Academy tutorials and activities on writing code in JavaScript. Here, we are introduced to the conditional if statement. The result is a cute program that produces a bouncing ball. Your young programmers...

As one accumulates more life experiences, there are fewer and fewer things that are strictly one thing or another. There always seems to be some gray area or middle ground. Not so with Boolean data types! We are in a world of only two...

Create your own bouncing ball program with this guided activity. Java Script code that sends a ball down the screen is provided. The task is to fix the code to make it bounce up when it hits the bottom of the screen and then down again...

Create your own flash card in this JavaScript coding activity. Modify the given code so that the answer is revealed when the mouse is pressed. Provides good practice of conditional if-else statements.

Take a big bite out of the red tomato by practicing your use of the variables mouseX and mouseY in a JavaScript coding task. The activity will guide you step-by-step and will help young coders understand how to draw objects based on the...

Now practice drawing a rectangle, ellipse, circle, and line by writing your own JavaScript code. Don't know where to start? No problem, you will be guided through creating every line of code. Getting an error message? Again, no problem,...
