Code Monster
The code monster character provides example code snippets with dynamic output and students are prompted to experiment with parts of the code to see how it affects the output. Code monster guides students through coding concepts like variables, conditional statements, iteration and nesting, functions and arrays. Students can navigate to different sections of Code monster using lesson sections.
