Family Coding Night

Our school did a great program for families to be exposed to computer programing.  Camden and I did this together and wrote about 200+ lines of code. 


It is a national program aimed at introducing coding to elementary kids.  The goal is for each of us to do an hour of coding in this evening. It was simple, straightforward and really challenging.  Each level built upon the next until we learned several pieces of coding language to complete simple tasks.


The Maze section used Angry Birds and Plants vs. Zombies, two very popular kid-friendly apps, to teach us.  The Artist section was coding to various geometric shapes.  It got very difficult and we only completed through level 6 before we stopped.


We had fun working together, strategizing the answers, and giving a high-five when we were successful.
