Title: Cairo Kids Academy: 50-Lesson Curriculum for Young Developers (Educational Proposal)
⭐️ CODE CHAMPIONS: CAIRO ADVENTURE ⭐️
====================================
"Your Journey to Becoming a Blockchain Superhero Starts Here!"
Ages: 10-16
====================================
🎯 PROJECT OVERVIEW:
This is a comprehensive 50-lesson curriculum designed to teach Cairo to young developers. Each lesson is carefully structured to build fundamental programming concepts while maintaining engagement through gamification and interactive learning.
🎓 CURRICULUM STRUCTURE:
Lesson 1: First Steps in Cairo
#[contract]
mod MyFirstProgram {
#[storage]
struct Storage {
message: felt252
}
#[constructor]
fn constructor(ref self: ContractState) {
self.message.write('Hello! I am learning Cairo!');
}
#[view]
fn show_message(self: @ContractState) -> felt252 {
self.message.read()
}
}
📚 LESSON BREAKDOWN:

- Basic functions
🎯 FULL COURSE ROADMAP:
Level 1: Code Cadet (Lessons 1-12)
- Basic syntax and structure
- Numbers and simple math
- Messages and text
Level 2: Digital Explorer (Lessons 13-25)
- Variables and data types
- Simple functions
- Basic logic
Level 3: Smart Contract Warrior (Lessons 26-38)
- Contract interaction
- State management
- Simple games
Level 4: Blockchain Champion (Lessons 39-50)
- Advanced concepts
- Mini projects
- Final challenges
🤝 COMMUNITY FEEDBACK:
I'm looking for feedback on:
1. Age appropriateness of content
2. Lesson progression structure
3. Interactive elements to add
4. Additional gamification ideas
Next Steps:
- Week 1-2: Publish first 5 lessons
- Week 3-4: Incorporate community feedback
- Week 5+: Regular lesson releases
Let's make Cairo accessible to the next generation of developers!
Your thoughts and suggestions are highly appreciated! 🙏
What about adding a “points system” and “achievements”? For example, children could earn points for completed tasks and collect virtual badges that show their progress. You could also create a “leaderboard” to create an element of fun competition, so everyone can feel like a real champion
you can add some fun accessories to it because kids like cartoon like mode of learning
As for the age, i feel from age 6 is appropriate
I will think about your ideas I added them to my notes thank you
you are very much welcome starknet brother
Wow I love this idea
Im kinda so old but zero knowledge about code but I love Starknet and wanna learn a little bit Cairo language
Please ping me when you finish
I am making plans on the subject
Lesson 2: Variables and Numbers
🎯 Objective: Learn how to work with variables and perform basic number operations.
💡 What We’ll Learn:
Definition and usage of variables
Basic operations on numbers (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division)
Storing and retrieving results in a contract
📜 Code Block:
#[contract]
mod MathBasics {
#[storage]
struct Storage {
result: felt252, // To store the result of operations
}
#[constructor]
fn constructor(ref self: ContractState) {
self.result.write(0); // Initialize result to 0
}
#[view]
fn get_result(self: @ContractState) -> felt252 {
self.result.read()
}
#[external]
fn add(ref self: ContractState, a: felt252, b: felt252) {
let sum = a + b;
self.result.write(sum); // Store the result in storage
}
#[external]
fn subtract(ref self: ContractState, a: felt252, b: felt252) {
let difference = a - b;
self.result.write(difference); // Store the result in storage
}
#[external]
fn multiply(ref self: ContractState, a: felt252, b: felt252) {
let product = a * b;
self.result.write(product); // Store the result in storage
}
#[external]
fn divide(ref self: ContractState, a: felt252, b: felt252) {
assert(b != 0, 'Division by zero is not allowed');
let quotient = a / b;
self.result.write(quotient); // Store the result in storage
}
}
🔍 Lesson Breakdown:
What We Learn:
Using variables to store and manipulate data.
Performing mathematical operations.
Storing results in a smart contract.
New Concepts:
Arithmetic operations in Cairo.
Using assert to handle errors.
Reading and writing data in storage.
This is such a great idea!
The idea is amazing!
I’m excited and ready to wait for the upcoming lessons.
I am working on the subject, your feedback is important.
