Computer scientists can do some pretty amazing things! 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.
