It's been a few years and my kids haven't done much with the coding, but it's time for the next set to check it out. Yesterday I introduced them to
code.org. I think Grace and Anna have both picked up on it quite well for the first day. I started them at the beginning of
Course C, which is intended for 2nd Grade and up.
Grace finished all of Course C and was quite proud of her
Mini-Project: Chase Game from Section 13.
Anna finished Section 12 of Course C, which has
Build a Flappy Game at the end. She's almost done with Section 13 with
Mini-Project: Chase Game.
By the way, Code.org works fine on a tablet or computer. You can even go from one to the other in between tasks.
Warning: If you haven't hit the Finish button on a page, don't log out! You can lose all of your work from that task if you don't Finish it before leaving. That can get quite frustrating for anyone, especially if they've spent 15-20 minutes creating something on a Free Play task.
