Blockly

December 9, 2019 - December 10, 2019

Computer scientists can do some pretty amazing things! It’s Computer Science Education Week and Tech Tuesday is all about learning the basics of programming using Blockly. Blockly is a series of games and challenges made by Google that will prepare you to use conventional text-based programming languages.

Learning to use specific instructions is a really important skill for computer scientists. A computer, app, game, etc. needs to know what to do in every possible situation to run properly. It needs a “rule” to tell it what to do in every scenario. We recommend trying out Blockly’s games and challenges to practice some of these skills and get better at programming.

Start programming with Blockly!

*Girlstart has no affiliation with Blockly; we just think it is cool software to get kids excited about programming!
