History's Heroes

In this lesson, students will create a matching game that test players' knowledge of history. Encourage your students to research African American heroes in history to add to their game.

Students will add custom images and matching descriptions for each of their heroes. They are provided step-by-step instructions to create the game. They will also add a winning screen and keep track of a player's attempts over time.

Students will combine research skills, creativity, and coding concepts to create this game. Coding concepts include: simple conditionals, basic math, simple variables, simple messaging, input/output, text handling, fill color, pen color, and shape drawing.
