I’m wondering if you guys have any ideas about coding for some 5th-8th graders that i’m doing to start teaching makecode! any suggestions that are easy lessons that would last for around 2-3 hours maybe?

Welcome back! For 5th-8th graders, consider starting with a simple project like creating a basic game or interactive story. A project like building a simple platformer or a quiz game can be engaging and educational, and it should fit well within a 2-3 hour lesson. Good luck!

Coding a FPS, Clicker game, Basic roguelike, simple zelda-like game
Prehaps you could also try projects focusing on functions, or variables, for loops, if statements etc
btw this sounds awesome
