Club Code: Level 2
​- Grades 4-12

Start learning how to code at your own pace using the step by step lessons presented in this Google Slide. Watch the videos, READ THE INSTRUCTIONS, then link to the lessons on each slide (you may have to be in presentation mode). In order to be successful, READ THE INSTRUCTIONS carefully and you have to get up sometimes and physically do what the program is asking you to do. Is one lesson too frustrating? Ask for help or go to the next lesson.
Continue coding with the slightly more advanced Level 2. Just like the instructions for Level 1, in order to be successful, READ THE INSTRUCTIONS carefully and you may have to get up sometimes and physically do what the program is asking you to do. Is one lesson too frustrating? Ask for help or go to the next lesson.
