MS Make Code (Galaga Game)
Have you ever wondered what the real reason was as to why Galaga was such a popular arcade game? Look no further this lesson has you covered. Students will create their very own modern version of Galaga as they write computer programs, debug any bugs in their code and modify their game to their desire. Students will be able to hold their code if you have a MakeCode console simulator (Not Required). Just imagine a modern version of the Game Boy compatible with ChromeBooks. Just imagine creating the Galaga version you always dreamed of and your students have the ability to put the modern touches on a classic game. MS Make Code is a resource that is not being utilized in the STEM classroom enough. We all need more Pixelated video games in our lives. MS Make Code is the ultimate stepping stone before you introduce students to Scratch. An amazing platform where students can create high quality video games in a single class.

In this hands-on lesson, students will be challenged to complete an obstacle course with a Sphero/RVR/Edison through coding. Students will be given a task list to complete and will be timed. Math
Engineers often create small-size models of a new product to test its design. This is especially true with airplanes. Model testing tells engineers how a design responds to different air conditions
Intro to MS Make Code (Eat the Food)
MS MakeCode is the perfect stepping stone into the world of Scratch. Students will be able to create a working video game in one class period. As we all know classic video games were not built over
