Computer Science Fundamentals Unit 2 Course A Lesson 6: Programming with Angry Birds (2018)

Subject Area

Digital Literacy and Computer Science

Grade(s)

K

Overview

Using characters from the game Angry Birds, students will develop sequential algorithms to move a bird from one side of a maze to the pig at the other side. To do this, they will stack code blocks together in a linear sequence, making them move straight, turn left, or turn right. In this lesson, students will develop programming skills on a computer platform. The block-based format of these puzzles helps students learn about sequence and concepts, without having to worry about perfecting syntax.
