Step 1: Advanced Practice with Loops and Interactivity
- Topics:
- - Review of loops (for, while, and nested loops) and their applications.
  - Deepening interactivity: using mouse clicks, keyboard inputs, and hover events.
  - Combining loops and user input to create dynamic and responsive animations.
- Exercise/Project:
- - Create a program that uses nested loops to generate complex patterns or designs.
  - Develop an interactive project where users can manipulate shapes or animations through mouse and keyboard inputs.
Step 2: Introduction to JavaScript Objects and Creative Projects
- Topics:
- - Understanding basic JavaScript objects: properties, key-value pairs, and object manipulation.
  - Using objects to organize and store data in interactive programs.
  - Combining objects with loops to dynamically update animations or user interactions.
- Exercise/Project:
- - Build a program that uses objects to create and manage multiple interactive elements, such as moving shapes or character animations.
  - Develop a final project that integrates loops, user input, and objects to produce a polished, interactive application or game.

This course is Level 3, so here are some requirements:
