Overview

The Engineer Level marks a major milestone in a student’s coding journey as they step into the world of compiled programming with C#. Up until now, students have worked mainly with interpreted languages like Python and JavaScript. In this level, they’ll experience the power of a strongly typed, object-oriented language that professional software engineers use every day.

Students will learn how to build Windows desktop applications giving them the ability to design real programs with buttons, labels, text boxes, timers, and more. To keep the learning fun and engaging, they’ll create three full applications. Along the way, they’ll explore the basics of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP), learning how to organize code into classes, objects, and methods.

By the end of this level, students won’t just know the syntax of C#—they’ll have hands-on experience building visual software that feels like the programs they use every day, giving them the confidence and skills to tackle advanced coding projects in the future.

Key Concepts

  • Compiled vs. interpreted languages

  • C# syntax and data types

  • Loops, conditionals, and methods

  • Object-Oriented Programming basics (classes, objects, properties)

  • Event-driven programming with WinForms

  • GUI design: buttons, labels, text boxes, timers

  • Randomization and game flow in GUI apps

  • File I/O (saving high scores and settings)

Soft Skills

  • Problem-solving through debugging and iteration

  • Planning and organizing projects step by step

  • Creative interface and game design

  • Confidence in building professional-looking applications
