Course Description
Block Coding introduces coding concepts and thinking skills in a visual format that builds a strong foundation that supports learning in other programming languages.
Key Features
Course Details
Block coding makes programming more accessible for children with little or no coding experience. It is less intimidating than text-based programming and coders with little experience are less likely to make mistakes, these can occur easily when working with text-based coding – where even the smallest mis-type can result in the coded project failing.
Through using the visual coding tools found in this collection of block coding websites, children can develop understanding of how coding works – generally in the context of fun game development or digital animation. Many of these tools also expose children to the computational thinking that’s important for successful coding.
