THEME OVERVIEW

For centuries, the Villagers and Illagers shared the same space but seldom interacted with each other. Now you can use the power of code to bring the two villages together. Players will experience empathy and compassion for their neighbors, learn cooperation and inclusion, and embrace the diversity that makes us all uniquely special.

This year’s lesson is offered in both Blocks and Python.

LESSON OBJECTIVES

By the end of the lesson the students will:

• Understand the importance and benefits of diversity, including the role of diversity and inclusion in a community
• Understand bias and recognize how it may cause harm
• Create coding solutions that include sequences, iteration, and loops
• Decompose (break down) the steps needed to solve a problem into a precise sequence of instructions
• Iterate on coding solutions to complete a task
