Programming

A course for beginners to write their first real programs.

Intro to Programming - Blockly

This beginner course uses Blockly, a visual tool, and the Blockly Turtle module to make programming simpler and easier to understand, especially for younger students.

We also suggest checking out Blockly for Beginners as an alternative course.

In this course students will learn about:

variables
user input
strings
data types
branching
looping

Students will also be able to see the Blockly code 'under the bonnet' to ease the transition into programming in Python.
