BugWeGo -Tekkies will study how to find bugs, and will exercise working with de-bugger (a computer program that is used to test and debug programs) and how to run a code on an instruction set simulator.
Sketching and Reading

Tekkies will study how use sketches and read data. They will also study to use commands to 'drag' objects, change objects' characters, use the 'intersect' function, use smart code, use the 'ask' command, build a mechanism to manage queues, build a scoring mechanism and more.

MapGame - The players in this APP will travel in the map of America, will be introduced to different countries and will have to match between the country and the location on the map.
Bonusing and Rewarding / True-time bonusing

During the work on their own version of an arcade game, Tekkies will learn how to develop a bonus model that will encourage the players to keep on playing. They will also implement the skills they have acquired during their studies.
