Coding in Castlemilk

Castlemilk Dojo got off to a flying start today with an introduction to programming for a very enthusiastic group of local 8-11 year olds. The children used Google’s Blockly Maze to learn problem-solving strategies and how to use repeat loops and if statements. Useful stuff! They then went on to learn the fundamentals of  scratch to help them animate their characters, adding sound, colour and dialogue as they went along. The group were very pleasantly surprised at how quickly they picked up programming, and we were delighted when we asked ‘Would you come back to CoderDojo?’ to receive a resounding ‘Yes!’
