Overview
Storytelling is a complete theme designed to be completed over eight, 45-75 minute sessions. For each lesson, students will watch a series of videos and create one coding project with opportunities to personalize their work using “Add-Ons” which are mini-coding challenges that build on top of the core project.
For this 3 hours mini session, we will be doing one-two stories only.
