Shortest path

What is “Shortest path”?

Shortest path is a Kindergarten – 1st grade coding skill in the Follow the Arrows region of the TernQuest map — forward, turn, reach the goal. It is aligned to CSTA K-12 Computer Science Standards standard 1A-AP-12. Children work through 20 grade-tagged questions at the reason level (reasoning it through), and Pip the tern offers a hint — never the answer — when they get stuck.

How does it unlock?

Skills on the map unlock in order: finishing the skill before this one with a mastery score of 60 or more opens shortest path. A grown-up can also assign it directly from the dashboard, and teachers can assign it to a whole class with a join code.
