KTBYTE students have the opportunity to complete a variety of challenging projects at each BYTE Level. Students are placed in classes based on skill, not age, which means it is common to see 12 year old kids coding projects that are targeted for 15 year old kids. Watch videos below to see what your child could create.
Review student projects from the progressive curriculum offered at KTBYTE. Learn more about the types of projects they will create, as well as the computer science and coding skills that will be utilized.
Level 1 projects reinforce the skills of variable use, conditionals, and functions through visual demos and basic games coded in JavaBlocks.
Level 2 projects focus on the use of Sprites, an object-oriented JavaBlocks library for creating complex games. Students also learn tools for creating and displaying realistic scenes.
Level 3 students use Java and Processing to explore art, games, and math concepts. Students at this level learn to write their own functions, use arrays for data storage, and navigate programs with 200+ lines of codes.
Level 4 students dive into learning Java at a high school level including concepts such as arrays, loops, and classes. Their projects range from social science models and basic word processing, to map generation games involving 2D arrays.
Level 5 projects include the introduction of recursive programs and more in-depth use of 2D arrays and Collection data structures. In CS01b students learn much more about writing object-oriented programs, culminating in creating their own Virtual Assistant application.
Level 6 courses teach data structures and algorithms at or beyond the most difficult Advanced Placement exam topics, similar to a university algorithms class. Students learn the principles of efficiency analysis, and apply these techniques to solve complex problems like sorting big data sets, drawing an animated fractal pattern, or navigating a map.
