About the CS Intro Series
The CS Intro Series is designed to teach new developers how to code from the
ground up.

In CS Intro 1, students are introduced to programming through the MakeCode


Blocks editor. They can create their own games, while learning concepts that are
crucial to software development: creating variables, responding to events, and
using iteration to simplify and extend their programs. Throughout the course,
they will learn to develop their own games through small daily tasks, as well as
projects that guide them through the process of turning basic ideas into full-
fledged games.

In CS Intro 2, students will continue to develop the software development skills


they were introduced to in the first course, with more advanced programming
concepts such as functions, logical comparisons, and arrays. These new skills
will allow students to create more advanced and compelling games.


In the future CS Intro 3 and CS Intro 4 courses, students will transition
the skills they have learned in a Block based environment into skills in a
text based coding environment, allowing them to dig deeper into the
games they make, as well as transition their skills in the Arcade into
other environments.
