Last class, we discussed coding and looked through a few different resources that would be useful for beginner level coding. I had the chance to visit a few different rooms, however the resource that stuck out to me the most was the app ScratchJr, as it translated basic coding skills into an appealing creative activity for children. The purpose of the app was to build sequences and stories by selecting different features and functions and placing them in the desired order. This app was very interesting to me because it introduces coding in such an approachable and fun way that encourages future coding development in children. I had never had the chance to do any coding throughout my education, but as society moves towards becoming more technologically sound, coding is definitely a skill that is useful and relevant.
