Description Programming Concepts come to life in this kid-friendly intro to the basics of Computer science and coding, with puzzles, games, and quirky characters.
She lives with her family and pets near Pittsburgh, and can usually be found either outside or with her nose in a good book..
She specializes in writing materials that support both teachers and students in meeting national and state science standards, but she considers her "real" job to be helping students of all ages to connect science to everyday life.
About the Author JENNIFER Szymanski is a freelance science writer and editor.
That\'s where YOU come in to help Cody succeed at some of the trickiest, most awesome missions on Earth.
That means they rarely give Cody the instructions it needs, which makes it want to totally short-circuit.
Even more unfortunately, the Explorers are superbusy folks with a lot of cool stuff on their minds.
It needs step-by-step instructions on where to go, how to collect the bacteria, what bacteria to collect, and how to get back to the Explorers.
It can\'t simply collect a rare type of bacteria from a volcano.
Unfortunately, this robot is very particular about the details.
Whenever the Code This Explorers need a hand, Cody is there to help.
Then you can put your skills to the test to help Cody the Robot.
That\'s called programming, or coding.
You\'ll also learn the art of explaining something in particular.
That\'s called Computer science.
Along the way, you\'ll learn the art of figuring out how to do things in general.
You\'ll write algorithms to find hidden treasures, deCode ciphers to read secret messages, create loops to program an expedition, and more.
Welcome to the Coder Crew, where you\'re on a mission.
