Course Content:

• What’s an Algorithm? Explore simple, everyday examples of algorithms (like making a sandwich) and understand how they function in real life.
• Breaking Down Tasks: Steps and Order: Learn to decompose tasks into manageable steps and understand the importance of sequence in problem-solving. Discover how algorithms are used in games (using resources like the : blockly games maze website). Fun activity: Create your own algorithm for a daily task!
• Introduction to Java: Discover what Java is and why it's a popular programming language. Get a brief overview of Java's history and basic data types.
• Let’s Code: Writing Your First Java Program: Write your very first program – the classic "Hello, World!" – and learn the fundamentals of a Java program and how it executes.
• Classes and Functions: The Building Blocks of Java (Part 1): Introduction to classes and methods. Learn how these essential building blocks form the foundation of any Java program.
• Classes and Functions (Part 2): Dive deeper into functions: understand what they are, how they work, and why they are crucial in programming.
• If-Else Statements: Making Decisions in Code: Learn about decision-making in coding and how to write conditional statements using if-else in Java.
• Loops: Repeating for Efficiency: Introduction to loops and how they can make your programs more efficient by automating repetitive tasks. Write simple loops in Java.
• Solving Problems with Java: Apply the algorithms you've learned to solve real-world problems using Java. Create a program that simulates a basic decision-making process.
• Final Project: Build Your Own Calculator: Put everything together and build a project! Create a simple calculator using Java, reinforcing all the concepts you've learned.
