Abstract:
Come play with us! This session will give participants a chance to play with five different pre-Scratch programming/coding options for the littlest of computer whiz kids. The presenter will share different ways of introducing coding in the K-5 classroom or as an after-school club. PC and iOS/iPad friendly!

Description:
This workshop will introduce five different programming platforms that are nearly all PC and iOS/iPad friendly--BeeBots (robots and apps), Daisy the Dino, Tynker, Code.org, and ScratchJr. In addition to having time to play with each coding tool, the presenter will discuss ways to incorporate coding in the classroom or as an after-school club. A handout with info about each resource will be distributed. If time allows, a Q&A session will end the workshop.
