Coding for Non-Coders

Course #: EDC U 212

Description:
Groggily you come to. You try to move but you realize you are handcuffed and gagged. Slowly you remember being ambushed in your lab and being knocked out by a large person with a chair. ''They must be trying to get my new invention,'' you think. You suspected that once word got out, villains would want to get their hands on this powerful new tool, you just didn't think it would happen this quickly. You know you must prevent them at all costs. After all, whoever controls this new technological invention can rule the world. Your mission is to save the world, that is in the context of the game story in this class. To do so, you are not expected to begin with any coding skills but must learn basic coding concepts such as debugging, looping, and Boolean logic to solve a series of problems embedded within this game story in order to advance the storyline. Designed like a video game, it is an asynchronous online course that can be completed at your own pace. By the end of the class, you will code your own interactive game using a block-based programming language. This class is intended for any undergraduate student in any program who is interested in learning to code.
