Students will create, populate and animate virtual worlds and bring them to life using CoBlocks (a “snap-together” programming language). Then you’ll enter and interact with your creations. Soar on a dragon’s back, challenge friends to your virtual escape room, or brave a shark-infested wreck! That’s just the beginning. If you can imagine it, you can make it.
Requires one of the following: Windows desktops/laptops, Chromebook or iPad. A mouse is highly recommended for Windows and Chromebooks.
Similar to Out of this World – with VR! class but with an emphasis on programming. You’ll learn the building blocks of code while bringing your virtual worlds to life.
​
You'll need those skills to clone cows(nothing can go wrong there), help the chicken cross the road, storm a castle, start a stampede of wild animals, and more.
That’s just the beginning. If you can imagine it, you can code it.

Mario Cart: This is a kart-racing game in which players compete with characters from the Mario universe. As players race against other drivers, they can use “cartoony” power-ups (e.g., bombs, turtle shells, fireballs) to impede opponents' progress. Some attacks result in vehicles spinning out, flipping into the air; comical yelps and colorful explosions accompany the action. Switch Only!
