Learning @ CI

  Learner’s were Introduced to “What is Code?” And the concept of code (a system of symbols used for communication) using both physical and virtual experiences.

(ex: To tie a shoelace or to reach a particular object, bringing glass of water, or to unbox an object) They reflected on their experiences of creating their own algorithms. Learners were given a gist of different coding patterns text based and block based coding. They were introduced to Tynker.  Learners were given more hands-on learning with block coding (Dragon Blast - Hour of code), they were further introduced to loops, functions, variables and how to follow steps while coding.
