Coding Explorations is a mini-course where students learn to code as it relates to music, art, and sports. Using a block-coding environment, students create music beats, explore the digital art medium by building coding programs that create collages, and develop their own sports video games and simulations using code.

MODULES - 3
Coding + Music introduces students to the basics of coding through music! In this block-coding environment, students investigate how code can be used to create and enhance music by building programs that generate beat patterns, chord progressions, and musical sequences with visualizations.
Coding + Art introduces students to the basics of coding through art! In this block-coding environment, students explore the digital art medium by building coding programs that create collages, imitate techniques of famous artists like Jackson Pollock and Andy Warhol, and tell stories through a sequence of multimedia scenes.
Coding + Sports introduces students to the basics of coding through sports! In this block-coding environment, students develop their own sports video games and simulations using code. Throughout the module, students build different sports visualizations and multi-level games that can be played with friends.

Three mini-courses bundled together: Coding in Music, Generating Art with Code, and Coding in Sports. Students create music beats, build programs that make digital collages, and develop sports video games and simulations.
No. It is a block-coding course, so students drag and connect blocks rather than typing syntax. It is designed as an introduction to coding through a subject students already care about.
No, in content. Coding Explorations in Art (15 hours), Coding Explorations in Music (15 hours) and Coding Explorations in Sports (11 hours) are the same three units sold separately; this course is all three at once, sized as a quarter.
About 40 contact hours, built to run as a quarter-long course.
Those are separate 20-hour units and are not part of this bundle. Coding Explorations covers music, art and sports only.
