The last day of the programming concepts workshop was reserved for a cumulative project which incorporated material from all of the pervious days' lessons. Using their knowledge of loops, objects, functions, and the html canvas, students were asked to build a functioning disease model. The model displayed several colored squares moving around on the canvas, with different colors representing sick, healthy, and recovered. When a sick person came in contact with a healthy person, the healthy person became sick. By the end of the day, each of the students had a functioning model built using javascript and html which could be run in any web browser. This flexibility gave the students the ability to take their projects and notes home with them to continue their exploration of programming.
