Introduction to Coding Workshop
Chaos Created
Code Created's Introduction to Coding Workshop is a great way to get pupils started with code. Using visual programming tools such as MakeCode, Kodu and Minecraft HoC, we'll teach the fundamentals of programming through fun projects and challenges!Using visual programming languages, we will teach young pupils about coding fundamentals through experimentation. We'll encourage them to play, and have fun, as they learn how to animate characters, create simple game mechanics, and learn coding basics!
