Space Mechanics: A Beginner's Guide to Programming Fundamentals
Anh Tang, Julissa Valdez-Ramos, Anca Doloc-Mihu, Cindy M. Robertson · 2024
This project strives to foster genuine interest in technology and computing in K-12 and non-IT undergraduate students. Using a simple space-themed game as the teaching platform, we aim to introduce students to fundamental programming concepts such as variables, conditional statements, and loops, as well as algorithmic thinking in a hands-on and engaging way.
