Coding activities for young learners!

HPi Day is very important to the fuzzFamily because their bodies are spheres! Celebrate Pi, shapes, and math on March 14th (or any day!) by helping the Fuzzes learn about Pi and build mazes using shapes.

Pi is just the relationship or ratio between these two distances. No matter what circle or sphere you look at, the circumference is always a little more than three times the diameter. Instead of saying “a little more than 3” or 3.14, it’s easier to use this greek symbol, ∏!

It’s Valentine’s Day! Help blueFuzz and his family celebrate with a special Valentine’s Day Maze. Follow blueFuzzes directions and hints to reveal the Valentine’s Day themed maze design!

The fuzzFamily loves Halloween and their favorite part is the costumes! In this Halloween lesson YOU get a chance to dress up the fuzzFamily for trick-or-treating.

Help the fuzzFamily rescue baby sea creatures by collecting 12 pieces of trash from the Fuzztopia beach! All you need is a way to play Kodable and some determination.

Unplugged: Turn your real-life hero into a Bug World defender using properties. Use your imagination to bring your character life – draw or write what you come up with!

Property: A feature or characteristic, belonging to something.

On-Screen: Practice using conditions by finishing short stories from picture prompts.
Unplugged: Use conditions and design mazes in Maze Maker with conditions for the path your fuzz will take.

Condition: A statement that consists of an If and Then part to create an action dependent on something else.

These conditional statements can be used to make code more dynamic and powerful.

On-Screen: Practice creating & using functions in the Smeeborg Level Function Junction.
Unplugged: Use this sheet to track the function that you create for getting dressed in the morning.

Function: a block of code made up of a set of steps that result in a single action. The code is given a name and can be used over and over.
JavaScript: An object-oriented computer programming language.

Create a fun exercise program using at least three exercises. Don’t forget to loop each move and decide how many times you will do each move. Here is a worksheet to help you.

Loop: The action of doing something over and over again

Use the maze maker to create a maze that includes the shape of a square. What other mazes and shapes can you make? On this coding mission, you will use math and coding skills to make your own maze and then try to solve it. Good luck!

Algorithm: A list of steps to finish a task. A set of instructions that can be performed with or without a computer.

There are a lot of steps and different jobs involved in creating a game. Design your own version of an asteroid blaster game. Use conditional statements to make observations as you change the game code.

Conditionals: Statements that only run under certain conditions or situation.

There are a lot of steps and different jobs involved in creating a game. Design your own version of an asteroid blaster game using variables and values.

Value: Data that can be stored in a variable, including Strings and Integers.
Variable: A storage container for a value that can change.

Build your own fuzz that has three properties and two functions. Each one should be from a different category.

Property: A feature or characteristic, belonging to something

Build two fuzz characters by adding properties and changing the values to make the fuzzes look different from each other. They can only share ONE property value in common.

Value: Data that can be stored in a variable, including Strings and Integers.
