What is loop? | Understand how looping works and observe patterns; introduce navigation in Scottie Go; learn the concept of looping. 1 hr in the advanced plan, 2 hr in the core plan.
Hi New Friend! | Solve problems through cooperation between avatars; control multiple avatars; combine multiple programs and variables. 1 hr in the advanced plan, 3 hr in the core plan.
Don't fall into the water! | Choose from various tools to solve a problem, allocate resources, and sharpen logic by debugging the program. 1 hr in the advanced plan, 3 hr in the core plan.
When should I stop? (Advanced) | Understand the while concept through Repeat While, simplify code using loops, learn condition statements and nested loops. 2 hr. Prerequisite: module 4.
The changing X (Advanced) | Learn the fundamental concept of a variable — what a variable is, how to create one, and where variables are useful. 1 hr. Prerequisite: module 3.
What if? (Advanced) | Introduce if and else, try the combined use of while and if, and learn branching. 2 hr. Prerequisite: module 5.
