Brian Huntzinger

Jefferson Middle School

Grade: 6-8

Subject: Computer Science

About this module

A middle school sequence that moves from flow charts and pseudocode (starting with the peanut butter and jelly exact-instructions challenge) to block coding in Scratch and then to Sphero Bolt and micro:bit sensor projects. Students finish by building an original game and programming robots to complete challenges.
