Google CS First: Intro to Computer Science - Session 1

Explore the world of computer science and coding through fun, hands-on learning! Students will create interactive stories and design video games in this Google CS First Computer Science Class.

Google CS First empowers all students to create with technology. Students will learn how to build creative, interesting projects through programming based on real world themes in which students use the computer to create interactive stories or design games. 

The two themes covered in this session are “Storytelling” and “Game Design”. 

In Storytelling, students use computer science to tell fun and interactive stories. Storytelling emphasizes creativity by encouraging campers  to tell a unique story each day. 

In Game Design, students learn basic video game coding concepts by making different types of games, including racing, platform, launching, and more! 

Other coding platforms explored may include Code.org and Tynker.
