Anchor Learning Camps - Coding

Coding Module

Anchor Academic Services offers students an opportunity to get marks in Applied Design and Skills Technology, Science, and Mathematics by learning the basics of block coding.


BLOCK CODING
A certified teacher will provide online lessons for students so they can learn the basics of block coding.  As students learn to use coding commands, they can make sprites move around the screen.  Using the coding skills they have just learned, students then learn to program Edison Robots to do a variety of commands.  Robots are sent directly to the learner's home and are the property of Anchor Academic Services. They are to be returned at the end of the Learning Camp.

DATES: April 24, May 1, 8, 15, 22 1:00pm by Zoom

Note: Completed assignments will be marked. Proficiency levels will be provided for the student's teachers for use in the quarter 4 report card.
