Scratch is a free, web-based coding application developed at MIT that can be used for teaching all levels of coding. It is particularly useful as an introductory application. Scratch uses drag-and-drop blocks instead of type-written code to teach the concepts, logic, creativity and problem-solving of coding without being bogged down with tedious syntax. Its simplicity makes it easy for you, as a facilitator, to include coding into your curriculum. This workshop will provide the strategies you'll need to get started and to get your 91视频 coding. No prior knowledge of coding is necessary to participate. |
