Adventures in Coding: An Exciting Journey for Young Minds!
This class designed to teach STEM, programming, and computer science concepts and skills in a fun & engaging setting using a wide range of programmable electronics and programming software.
- Scratch is a programming tool developed by MIT and is considered the world's most influential programming language for children. Based on Scratch 3.0 and Arduino code, mBlock is versatile and user-friendly enough to give you everything Scratch can offer you. And it's pretty easy to learn because you can program simply by dragging and dropping blocks.
- mBlock integrates Microsoft's cognitive services and Google's deep learning into one tool. With these features, kids can program to add more capabilities to mBlock, such as guessing their age or using photo recognition to control their games. With mBlock, it's easy for kids to learn the basics of AI.
