Use this cover slide to introduce the theme of the lesson: Coding the Future. Highlight the importance of computer science in the modern world and set an energetic tone for the sessions.

Session 1 introduces the basic concepts of computer science and engages students in an interactive discussion. Emphasize the real-world relevance and invite students to share their perceptions of what coding means.

Session 2 focuses on understanding variables and data types. Go over simple coding examples (consider using Python or a block-based tool) and encourage students to practice using the exercises from the Interactive Coding Exercises Guide.

Session 3 covers conditional statements and loops. Demonstrate how these control structures work through coding examples and real-world scenarios. Make sure to emphasize the logic behind using if/else and for/while loops.

In Session 4, introduce the concept of functions and modular programming. Use examples to show how breaking a program into smaller parts (functions) makes problem-solving easier. Engage students with a guided exercise to write simple functions.

Session 5 is the capstone project session. Guide students through a mini-project consolidating the lessons from previous sessions. Encourage teamwork, creativity, and innovation. Conclude with student presentations and a review of key takeaways.

Introduce the session series and set a positive, engaging tone for the lessons. Emphasize the importance of computer science and coding in today’s world.

Introduce session 1 by covering the fundamental concepts behind computer science and what coding means. Encourage an interactive discussion with the students about their ideas of coding.

Focus on variables and data types using clear examples. Use hands-on coding exercises to ensure students grasp how these basic programming elements work.

Discuss conditional statements and loops with practical coding demonstrations. Use real-world examples to illustrate how these control structures operate.

Explain the concept of functions and the idea of modular programming. Engage students in a guided exercise to help them understand breaking problems into small functions.

This concluding session integrates all learned concepts in a mini-project. Encourage teamwork, innovative thinking, and collaborative problem-solving. Wrap up with student presentations and a summary of key takeaways.
