Teacher’s Guide Intro to Coding BACKGROUND What This Class Aims to Be This course was made to make it easier for educators and students to experience the computer science and information technology fields. With new education and technology concepts in mind, the Intro to Coding course was curated with the goal of introducing more schools into programming classes through a modern, free, and simple path.  Who This Class Is For This course is for young learners with an interest in computers and coding. This course can be used in middle schools and high schools recommended for students age 12 to 18. Although this course was made for kids with differing levels of understanding, we recommend that students are not required to take this course. Programming in the Real World This class hopes to give a look into what programmers in the real world do every day. Education and programming are two objects that don't always go well together. Today, technology changes at an unprecedented rate, and education can't always keep up to teach what's new. As a result, many approaches to teaching programming cover the fundamentals and principles that are unchanging. This is a route that Collegeboard's Advanced Placement Computer Science courses take. However, taking this approach discourages numerous students who have a natural interest in these topics but find learning about them uninteresting and tiresome. This course intends to balance a level of new technology with basic concepts that keeps learning about programming interesting and useful at the same time.  How This Course Was Made This course was made in collaboration with new teaching and new programming ideas. A main goal of this course is to utilize present-day learning methods to teach present-day material. We wanted to update obsolete programming classes with new and effective learning, in the easy to adopt form. We chose to teach this course in Python, a simple-to-learn modern high-level language.   What You Can Do with This Course This course is completely free and open source. You are free to modify any and all parts in order to better suit your classroom and redistribute your additions for other educators to use. We ask that you do not sell any of these course materials and further the
