Description of Resource

Human Resource Machine is a puzzle game. In each level, your boss gives you a job. Automate it by programming your little office worker! If you succeed, you'll be promoted up to the next level for another year of work in the vast office building. Congratulations!

Don't worry if you've never programmed before - programming is just puzzle solving. If you strip away all the 1's and 0's and scary squiggly brackets, programming is actually simple, logical, beautiful, and something that anyone can understand and have fun with! 

You start the game with just 2 commands, and gradually earn more as you're promoted. The entire language contains only 11 total commands - but they're enough to simulate almost any computer algorithm in the world!

Other Requirements
Also available on WiiU.

Code Avengers courses teach critical 21st century skills, including computer programming, critical thinking, and problem solving. Students learn how to logically sequence events, create playable games, and model real situations. They also learn computational thinking by developing algorithmic and design thinking abilities. Once students have a strong grasp of the fundamentals, they can transition to learning programming languages, such as JavaScript and Python and web languages such as HTML5 and CSS3, or build their theoretical knowledge with our Computer Science and Design courses on a Code Avenger PRO account.

We aim to provide confidence for all learners to not only navigate but thrive in the digital world. Our learning activities are accessible and flexible to the needs of diverse learners, with characters, themes and activities that all children can relate to.
