Understanding Code Lesson Plan

Students were introduced to coding concepts through interactive games and activities. They played a binary game to understand computer language and used Google Expeditions VR to explore what code is. Students then programmed microbits to create a rock paper scissors game using block coding. They viewed and modified their code in Python. Finally, students practiced giving and following explicit coded instructions to simulate programming a robot.
