Students will explore Java fundamentals through an introduction to variables, operators, conditional statements, loops, and random numbers. They’ll code a basic project such as a MadLibs story, Guess the Number game, or Fortune Teller game.

Building on their knowledge, students will delve deeper into Java programming by creating logic-based applications using object-oriented concepts to build a Battle Arena and a text-based adventure game.

Next, students will explore advanced programming concepts and utilize their skills to begin building their final project, a Tic-Tac-Toe game.

Exploring interface design for applications, students will program console-based menus, rules, and playability for their Tic-Tac-Toe game.

To wrap up the week, students will finalize their projects and finish out strong with a solid understanding of Java programming concepts.
