Coding & Design at Casis
Code Kids is a project-based after school club at Casis Elementary for students in grades 2-5. In this club, students will embark on guided projects that incorporate programming, coding, 2D & 3D graphic design, 3D printing, video game design, immersive virtual worlds, and the cultivation of digital citizenship skills.
Concepts of Programming
Learning the concepts of programming teaches students to be problem solvers. Students will learn to create algorithms and then convert their algorithms into code.
Coding
Students will learn two types of coding, block-based coding and text-based coding.
2D Graphic Design
Students will dabble in graphic arts when they create original 2D vector and pixel designs for projects.
3D Design & Printing
Students will delve into 3D design and printing concepts through hands-on projects. They will create unique designs and witness their creations come to life using a 3D printer.
Video Game Design
Students will apply what they learn about coding and graphic arts to design and code original video games.
Minecraft Education Team Challenges
Students will embark on an educational adventure through Minecraft Education Challenges, where they will cultivate essential skills such as teamwork, creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving.
