Last class was spent teaching 4th graders about basic programming and how coding works to make machines do things. We taught them about scratch, which is a simple programming tool that allows a user to create a script using blocks. Some of the blocks had instructions like ‘move 10 steps’ or ‘turn 15 degrees’. During the time that we spent with them, we taught them how to make their sprite draw shapes.
We are visiting the 4th grade classroom again this week to show them how to make a maze. This maze will end up being a programmed game that the kids can play.
