Great Minds: Ada Lovelace

Computers need to know a lot of languages, n'est-ce pas? Scholars learn about advances in computer programming, from assemblers and compilers to more recent programming languages. They learn how these advances led to a shift in...

Explore, create, and make mistakes. This is the call to action in a video on how to use Khan Academy to learn to write Java code. The speaker encourages learners to feel comfortable with the programming environment that is provided on...

It's time to unleash your class's inner geek. This introductory video starts one on a path of learning to code. It is the first in a series of videos that help you learn the fundamentals of coding. The series focuses on producing art and...

Kick off an introductory computer science course with this exploration of computer programming basics. From variable types and writing statements in JavaScript to finding a web host and deploying a website, this resource provides...

A program that says, "Hello world," is considered a classic in computer programming. Have your young coders join the ranks of the many others who have created one of these programs. Of course, putting one's flare on a classic is always...

Start being creative with your JavaScript text. The speaker defines a string and how to combine strings. The program modeled here displays the text, and using the mouseX and mouseY functions, the text grows as it moves. Your beginning...

The JavaScript program you create will answer a simple question about a number. Is it positive, negative, or zero? Create a Boolean expression and use conditional if statements to test the value and then print the...

Class members connect engineering with an understanding of linear programming using a technical resource. Scholars learn about linear programming (linear optimization) and how it applies to engineering design in the first of two modules....

Ever wonder how those neat painting applications work? Completing this coding activity will give you some insight. First, starting with a simple function that draws a small circle as the mouse moves around the screen, adjust the function...

Practice using conditional if statements, Boolean expressions, and Boolean operators by programming a user-selected button. This activity guides by using a small program that needs some modifications to work correctly.
