Students learn coding concepts as they solve these puzzles to train their dragon to find treasure.
In Dragon Spells, students train a dragon to collect treasure. Students review the basics such as counting loops and sequencing in the initial lessons, and then they learn all-new coding concepts. They learn how to solve hard problems using decomposition and abstraction with real world examples. They also learn to use input and output in their programs, making their projects more interactive. Students even use functions to organize and reuse sections of code. The course also includes open-ended DIY projects where students apply all the concepts they have learned and can express their own creativity with code.
