What Will You Learn?
During this live coding session, Elby is desperate to win a kazoo from the prize wall at the mini-golf course, but this game is rigged! Kelsey and Matt the Robot will need to teach participants to reprogram the old, unfair code of the obstacles to make the games playable. CodeJoy participants will learn the basics of coding position and rotation motors using Makecode.
These Live Virtual Sessions will be held DAILY July 12-16 from 4 pm ET / 1 pm PT.
Please note: Projects below are in addition to the live coding session and will require additional time.
