Learning basic coding skills on your own is difficult. You need to worry about the language, coding programs, and instructional content
The above barriers to entry keep people from starting to learn coding who would otherwise enjoy it
This project is designed to consolidate all the resources needed to learn basic coding concepts into one easy to use device
State Machine Diagram
Methods
The whole structure revolves around a layout class that holds all the data needed for one page to display on the screen
The layouts are individually defined and linked with buttons. When the user clicks a button to transition to another page, the program unrenders the current page and renders the new one
The content was grouped into five modules, and each module was assigned a state machine. The state machine tracks the module’s current status and allows the user to skip and/or restart modules if they choose
Conclusion
The final device contains five modules of content to teach users the basics of coding
Each module includes at least one coding exercise and a quiz to ensure the user learned the material
The device can run for over 6 hours without needing to be charged making it portable
