Today in class, we had Rich McCue visit for the second time this term and he helped us to learn more about coding. He gave a brief presentation at the start and then let us go ahead and start trying it out. I started by using Scratch. I started by following along with his instructions and creating a character and script for the cat. I thought Scratch was really cool. It allowed for students to be creative and choose what their character looks like and what they do, as well as to add other characters and backgrounds. Next, I checked out the Grasshopper coding program. I really enjoyed this program as it taught you how to do the coding as you went and gave you specific goals along the way. Overall, I enjoyed this class and would like to look further into coding in the future.
Competency covered: coding.
