This course focuses on game design using the Quorum programming language built from the ground up for accessibility. Educators will learn to design and build platformer and puzzle games using Quorum Studio, while developing core computer science concepts such as variables, loops, libraries, and user input. Participants will leave with classroom-ready lessons, hands-on game projects, and strategies to bring inclusive, engaging computer science experiences to all learners.

Key Benefits of using Quorum:
It's designed to be accessible to all learners; Quorum caters to students of all abilities.
Ease of Learning: Its user-friendly syntax makes it easier for beginners to grasp core programming concepts.
Versatility: Quorum can be used for a wide range of projects, from simple games to complex simulations.

What to Expect:
Structured support and hands-on learning, best practices, and valuable resources to integrate accessible programming into your curriculum.
Ready-to-use curriculum, including interactive lessons, study aids, and hands-on activities.
Peer collaboration with a community of educators and industry experts.

Objectives

Participants will:

• List fundamental computer science concepts.
• Demonstrate how to use the Quorum Studio Integrated Development Environment (IDE).
• Explain how to program a simple platformer game.
• List variables and describe user input to create interactive experiences.
