About this course
Code Crew Grade 1 is the bridge from the visual-puzzle Kindergarten course into actual coding language. Kids join Rocket and Raven and meet Nova, the crew's AI companion drone, who runs simple typed instructions exactly as written. Kids read every program line and answer by tapping, with zero typing required. The sentences stay short, the vocabulary stays controlled, and the puzzles get bigger. Kids finish the course able to read and build 4-6-line programs with loops and simple conditions.
Kids will
- Read and follow a 4 to 6 line set of typed instructions
- Write a sequence to solve a puzzle
- Use a repeat block (introductory loops)
- Use a simple if-then (introductory conditionals)
- Find and fix bugs in a short program
- Plan a path before running it (introductory algorithmic thinking)
