Mastery Progression
Coding Junior:
Intro to Coding I (K-8)

Students learn programming skills while creating their own games and music videos. Zaniac’s instructors introduce basic programming concepts like sequences, loops, iterative development, and debugging using the coding application of Minecraft and Scratch, a block-based program developed at MIT.

Coding Apprentice:
Coding II (K-8)

Students will learn more advance programming skills with Scratch. They will dive deeper into the concepts of interactive software design. Learn variables, ‘if, else’ statements, conditionals, operators, and more to create simple games, at the end of the semester they will be able to create their own animation, interactive game or video.
Pre-requisite: Intro to Coding I

App Creation (K-8)

Students learn how to create new customized apps using App Inventor 2, a block-based, visual programming approach designed by MIT. They will explore event handlers, timers and database management.
Pre-requisite: Intro to Coding I and Coding I

Coding Master:
Python (4-8)

Students are introduced to syntax-based programming. Students will learn lists, strings, conditions, how to draw animations and make the foundation of a platform game.
Pre-requisite: Intro to Coding I, Coding II and App Creation

Web Design (4-8)

Students explore layout strategies, color theory, responsive web design, usability and visual weight and use visual style guidelines, JavaScript, HTML5, CSS3 and Weebly to create their own custom website.
Pre-requisite: Intro to Coding I, Coding II and App Creation.

Coding Pro:
Java (5-8)

Students hone their programming skills by exploring Java programming. They will learn principles like variables, classes, methods, code efficiency and automation with a powerful ‘write once, run everywhere’ language. They create text-based adventure games.
Pre-requisite: Intro to Coding I, Coding II, App Creation and Python.

JavaScript in Minecraft or Web Design with JavaScript (5-8)

Students are introduced to JavaScript through Minecraft or Web Design, they amplify their coding skills reading & writing JavaScript by making alterations to Minecraft or creating original websites from beginning to end. (Coding Minecraft with JavaScript available January 2019)
Pre-requisite: Intro to Coding I, Coding II, App Creation and Python.
