Everything You Need to Code, You Learned in Kindergarten
- Jump to Resources:
- Social Conversation
- Speaker Resources
Learn coding concepts like elementary schoolers learn them: through interactive games and activities that will get you out of your chair, instead of by watching slides and typing unknown symbols into a text editor. You’ll learn programming concepts such as loops, types, variables, syntax, and if/then statements that translate to any language. You’ll leave with a list of resources for starting to program in the language best suited for your needs.
This session is designed for:
Speaker Resources
