Join us for this one-hour virtual workshop to take part in the Microsoft Hour of Code Series. Using the power of code, students aged 8 and up will explore the foundations of coding with their friends from Minecraft, Star Wars, and Frozen! These tutorials use the coding “blockly” to introduce students to the concepts of coding and spark their interest in one of the world’s fastest-growing industries.
By the end of the workshop, students will be able to:
- Create a list of coding instructions.
- Instruct a computer to perform tasks in a sequence.
- Test and refine their coding instructions to complete puzzles and maps across various settings
