 Who We Are…
We are the Center for Innovation in STEM Education at the
California State University Dominguez Hills located in Carson,
California.

Our Organization focuses on:

● Increasing the interest of students in STEM Careers.
● Increase the number of students pursuing STEM
Majors and completing them.
● Increase the diversity in STEM Majors.
● Making sure you have FUN!
Expectations
● Be Respectful
● Be your Best Self
● Be curious
● Have a Growth Mindset!
 Reminders
1. ALL personal items under your chair.
2. No food or drinks are allowed in the classroom.
3. Do not slide in your chairs.
4. Teachers and chaperones must supervise bathroom breaks
and students at all times. (restrooms, LSU, etc)
Intro to Coding and
Computer Science
What is a Command in Coding?

Commands are instructions

that we give to the computer
and the computer will
execute those instructions.

Similar to the game Simon

Says, computers only do what
they are programmed to do!

Computers are not smart on

their own! They cannot do
anything without being
programmed.
What is a Command in Coding?

Computer Scientists,
engineers,
programmers, and
others help to create
these sets of instructions
for computers to follow!
Swift playgrounds
● Swift is a computer language created by Apple!
● This language is used to create various apps including:

Instagram Bitmoji Uber

Twitter Pandora
Swift playgrounds
Today, you will complete the first chapter of
Swift Playgrounds - Commands.

● You will learn the basics of how to create a set of instructions for
a computer to follow.
● If you are finished early, please help those in your table group.
● If they do not need help, move on to the next chapter -
Functions!

● Sphero uses the Java Script coding language.

● Sphero EDU is an interactive app in which you can learn more

how to code using your creativity!

● Sphero BOLT is a programmable robot ball that you can drive

and code!

Today, you will learn the basics of how to create a set of
instructions for a robot to follow by completing the
following activities in the Sphero EDU app.

Now that you had some time to explore, you will put your skills
into practice!
You will create a block Your goal is to have your
code algorithm for your Sphero:
Sphero to race alongside 1. Go straight towards
a classmates’ Sphero! the cone
2. Go around the cone
3. Make it come back
to you!

Have fun, be safe,

and be prepared
to share the space
with your
classmates!
