Making and Using Exemplars

What is an Exemplar?

An exemplar is an example program. Teacher facing exemplars will either have the solution to a level or showcase the learning objectives the student’s program should demonstrate from a particular level or lesson. Student facing exemplars provide inspiration for programs students should make

NOTE: Do NOT make exemplars in your own Code Studio account. Use coursedocs@code.org

Making an Exemplar

1. In a “incognito” window, log into into the coursedocs@code.org Google account and make a new project in your chosen level type.

2. Make your example program in the project.

3. Click on the admin box and choose the “Freeze for use as an exemplar” option at the bottom

   

4. When you click on the admin box now, you should see an ID for the exemplar, as well as an Unfreeze button.

   

Congrats, you’ve just created an exemplar!

Suggested Practices:

• Build out your exemplar in the level it’s based on first so that you’re using only the blocks provided. When you’re done, remix and use the studio.code.org link.

Adding an Exemplar to a Level

1. Open the level editor of the level you’re adding an exemplar to.

2. Find the section that says Example Solutions.

3. Copy and paste your exemplar’s ID into one of the textboxes and save the level.

   

In the blue teacher panel, you should now see a button that says “Example Solution”
