Nested For Loops, Computer Programming

Learning how to write computer code has never been so much fun! Given control of their very own robots, children create simple programs in order to solve a series of challenges and develop their problem solving skills.

Starting with an empty computer screen for a coder can be as intimidating as a bare canvas to a painter or a blank sheet of paper to a writer. Where do you start? If you know what you are trying to build, then you just pick something and...

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 a number of videos that help you learn the fundamentals of coding. The series focuses on...

Repetitive tasks, like the scenes from the movie Ground Hog Day, are common in computer programs. But how exactly do you program a piece of code to repeat specific instructions? This is where the While loop comes in handy. This video...

Now that you are familiar with while loops let's look at a new type of loop: the for loop. This video shows the three parts of the for loop: the start, the Boolean test, the value change, and how it differs from a while loop.

Leap right into programming in JavaScript with this first video in the series. Start off with drawing a rectangle. Remember computers only know what you tell them. So you need to specify exactly where on the screen you want the...

Now let's expand our coding to include ellipses, rectangles, and lines using this easy-to-follow video. We are also adding some formality to the language we use by defining the following terms: function, parameters, pixels, and the x and...

Repetition, repetition, repetition. Get your class to efficiently repeat a section of code over and over again by introducing looping. Class members learn looping to quickly recreate objects they want to appear more than once in their...

Practice adding color to your simple JavaScript picture. Three layers of ice cream in a bowl with a cherry on top, gives your beginning coders a tasty challenge.
